lulu的员工现在在reddit上用中英文替自己洗白。 下面是copy &paste 原文
Body shamed in-store today
Update: An email has been sent and I hope to hear back within a few days. But I think something is more concerning is that I have been receiving messages from my Chinese friends that this post was reposted on XiaoHongShu and some people there were concerned about this being an attempt to bring hate to Chinese people, culture of their community.
No no no. My grandma is from China! I have a quarter Chinese bloodline! I also learned Chinese because I wanted to be a diplomat when I was younger. Please do not make this political or think this is Asian hate.
However, I also do not agree with unhealthy beauty standards. For those comments there questioning whether I belong to a size 4. You guys are the one bringing shame to your country and culture!
To people who are both on Reddit and XiaoHongShu: 我姥姥也是中国人。我绝对不会去抹黑中国的!我甚至是中国LPL战队的粉丝🤦🏼♀️我也希望这件事情是假的。。。可惜不是。我希望你们不要觉得我是在故意挑事或者想让大家对中国有不好的印象。这跟中国或者任何种族都没有关系。我只是觉得这样的言论非常不对。身材歧视本身就是可耻的。作为一个4码的人,我和你们一样很吃惊会遇到这样的事情。当然,任何尺码都不应该遇到! 其实我本人并没有非常受伤。但是我更担心的是如果青少年或者那些有厌食症等心理障碍的顾客听到这样的言论后的反应。 对于学习中文,我姥姥一直都努力教我不要忘记她的根。我会讲中文 我也感到很骄傲。我一直有在坚持阅读中文。希望你们真的不要误会我了! 但是我也不明白为什么有人会质疑我这个身材为什么能穿得进4号??为什么不能?我就是这个尺寸!有什么问题吗???

My friend and I traveled to the States today for some shopping and decided to stop by a Lululemon store.
For context, I am 5'7" and 129lbs, and my friend is 5'5" and 115lbs. We are both size 4. We were trying on the Align Mini Flare pants and decided not to get them because they were less flattering than the Groove pants.
As we were walking away from the fitting room, I overheard an educator speaking in Chinese, 'They are complaining about them not being flattering, maybe they are just fat,' and another girl replied, 'Fat girls, size 4, ew. How can they have the courage to wear leggings if they are not size 0 or somethibg' *Trust me, this translation is much nicer than the original version with lots of swear words*
I was absolutely horrified at their conversation, so I ran back and asked them why they would say such hurtful things. They looked absolutely horrified and surprised that I understood their conversation. They then both denied it and said I didn't understand their Chinese properly. Like, what the heck? Girl, please. I took 7 years of Mandarin classes growing up, and how do I 'misunderstand' that entire rude conversation?
I asked to speak to the manager, and she was actually a nice lady. She apologized and said she would look deeper into the issue. My friend then dragged me away as it was causing a bit of attention in the store, and she was getting nervous.
But gosh, imagine how many customers these girls talk bad about, thinking that they wouldn't understand. Imagine working at Lululemon and having such a stupid mindset that anything above size 0 is fat.
