But you aren't Chinese. Asians do have a lot of trouble finding clothing in the West (ok, so as I have recently found out, California is an exception here), and I can imagine this having one of two effects on them: first, it might shift the inferiority issues onto them; or second, it might serve to increase the already substantial cultural divide, at a time when that is really not helpful.
Perhaps the requirement ought to be that the sizes of the mannequins are justified by the statistics of the store's sales. Then I can run my large sizes store and my small sizes store and my asian styles store and indeed my fashion for amputees store if I have one, and the only restrictions being placed on me are ones consistent with existing European doctrines of truth in advertising....
