Yeah well, I don't know who this Oprah is either.
Okay, well, uh, wow. :|

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was sarcasm or not. Oprah is pretty famous.


Seems like you guys forgot I live on the other side of the Atlantic.
No, this is not an excuse. Oprah isn't well-known just in the west, she's a global celebrity that EVERYBODY and their mom knows about.
She really isn't.
I don't think you understand the impact she's had on the world in terms of charity and philantropy. Just make a quick Google search and you'll understand what I mean, even if you haven't heard of her.

A quick google search has only told me that she's very rich, she's black and that she's helped her home country and Africa.

How does that make her globally famous?

You're right, it's not an excuse, it's a completely understandable reason. Do you really think non-native english speakers would know about her or even care of her existence?

Regardless if you know or care who she is or not, that doesn't take away from the fact that she's one of the most influential women in the world.
She's been ranked in the top 50 most generous people in the world, giving to charities and running them.
During the Oprah Winfrey Show, during one episode, she gave the entire studio audience each a car.

She's basically the richest black person in history.
And give that she owns her own television network, she's actually more influential and higher on the ladder than someone like Donald Trump. Donald Trump is junior league compared to where she is.

Yeah, I know and I bet that she's been really influential and important, but I don't understand how Emmeth and some of you guys found it so hard to believe that I didn't know about her.

See that tiny speck of dust France is stepping on? Yeah, that's Spain. I live there, remember? I doubt most people in the world know who Oprah is, because most of us don't watch english news.

I found it hard to believe because I grew up knowing about her show and subsequently been on the internet where I've seen her name incredibly often.

See the tiny speck right next to Russia? That's Scandinavia, I live in one of those countries. What makes Spain different from Norway?


I accept that you hadn't heard of her, but I still find it very surprising.

Did you expect me to know that?

The reason I've probably never heard of her is because no one cared about anything outside of Spain back when she started to get famous. During that time Spain was not in the best shape, I'll tell you that much.

You used the same argument for Spain, I just pointed out the similarities :p Countries both in Europe, Norway is even smaller.

That's fine then. I can understand that, still surprising though.

I agree completely with the OP. This was a joke made by a comedian. Ellen tells jokes on a daily basis, it's her job. I don't see how anyone could find this to be racist.

Off topic but, I saw a video on Facebook responding to this and the guy said, "I find it funnier that she would want to ride a man more than anything else." I thought that was pretty funny.
