I'm reminded of the Chris Rock joke about Lululemon and their $100 no-hate yoga pants. But given that price they actually hate poor people.

  But they hate them without racism.

    Is this sarcasm? I thought a reason of choosing the name “lululemon” was that it can be difficult to pronounce for some https://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-lululemon-2015-9?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-lululemon-2015-9?... Edit: the linked article suggests it wasn’t “a reason” but rather “the reason” for the name, I was being too forgiving

      That’s interesting about the name, I didn’t know that. However, I don’t think it’s racist. A Japanese marketing firm designing a brand for Japan chose the name with 3 Ls because that letter doesn’t exist in Japanese, so would seem more like a non-Japanese, American brand. That seems very different from someone choosing it to laugh at how some people can’t say it.
