CBSN
Olympic gymnast Suni Lee said this week that she was the target of a racist attack months after winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics. Lee, a Hmong-American 18-year-old from Minnesota, told PopSugar about the alleged incident in an interview published Wednesday.
Lee said the attack happened while she and her friends — all of whom are of Asian descent — were outside waiting for an Uber after a night out. A car sped past them and the people in the car yelled racist slurs at them, she said.
One person sprayed Lee's arm with pepper spray, she said.
