The backlash against racist and sexist criticism of  Nadia Lim continues.

Chemicals company CEO Simon Henry described Lim as a piece of "Eurasian fluff" -  and suggested her appearance could explain why his company had outperformed My Food Bag on the NZX and ASX.

Lim responded on social media last night - saying Henry's comments are 'so damaging'.

Shareholders' Association Chief Executive Oliver Mander told Mike Hosking not only are his comments insulting to Lim, but to shareholders also.
