If you know the reasoning behind how he decided on the name "Lululemon", that's not surprising at all

Only extremely Caucasian white people with a certain minimum amount of wealth can get away with being like "yeah, I'm comically racist. So what?" The rest of us get fired and blacklisted.
Not quite sure what you’re trying to say here. Do you WANT to be racist, and are upset that you can’t? Or, are you being sarcastic? (Please say it’s the latter. Please.)

Well, racists never admit to being racist, so ...

Overpriced and crappy quality. Never bought into it and never will. It should go the way of American Apparel and Abercrombie & Fitch.
And then they continue to buy the shit because they really don’t give a damn.

It's not like it's even a difficult word for Japanese speakers, the L's just get turned into R's (or more accurately, a sound that's inbetween the two) Like, just put "girl" in the name, that's a way harder word Racist *and* lazy

Ew what a horrible piece of white trash

Not shocking. Didn’t he pick the name to mock Japanese people because liquids R and L are not distinguished in their language ?

Imagine having a name like "Chip", making a company with a nonsense name because you think it's funny when Asians try to say it, and then being openly racist about diversity.

ah yes, what Lululemon is known for is not being friendly to white people

I hated Lululemon on general principle before I read that article, but then learning why he named the company Lululemon and... ugh.

lululemon is a cult, prove me wrong

So is LuLaRoe (seriously, watch the documentary about it - the couple who run it have super serious "We are Christo-fascist cult leaders" vibes).
Avatar
capitalism gave us some new cults and boy they are not much better than the old kinds huh (and i mean it in the derogatory way, these are dirty and bad)
Avatar
They were previously part of Amway, which itself is a Christo-fascist cult.

he spends a lot of money on hate projects and far-right politics in canada, and he's been a bigot longer than he's been a billionaire

This piece of shit was instrumental in electing Ken Sim as mayor of Vancouver. He is a libertarian billionaire who thinks that society is unfair to billionaires.
