22 massage parler, 12 were prostitution
all are asian, all from china, and many had came under work visa.
“Many move around the country. All from China, and it make your wonders”
Everybody doing illegal massage is asian. why do you have people from communist China here, on legal work visa, who can infiltrate such area (massage parlor).
But I wonder what the sheriff was wondering about. I wonder what the entire department was thinking about naming the investigation as skin so soft. It reminded me of the racist remark “I love you long time”, which I first learned in basic USAF military training in 2001 from a white man from Arkansas. Across 11 years of working with TS/SCI, I had to face 4 incidents of white people trying to paint a target on my back as a Chinese spy. So I became keenly aware of a type of Asian hate, that few have made public. With the onslaught of physical violence against Asian in 2020, the USA, and particularly the DNC had made a public case out of it. Which became politicized and weaponized against the Donald Trump campaign, and then fizzled out by the end of 2020, while legal legislation were written, proposed by AAPI, and approved by white house to go after Trump supporters.
Now, again, we see a sort of Asian hate from the sheriff office in Polk county Florida. *for many people who do not study the origins and area of operations for KKK, Florida is a central stronghold of the KKK of old. In a white country like Florida, is there no other massage parlor other than Chinese? Of all the 21 massage parlor that the police cracked down on, was it a targeted crackdown on asian massage parlor specifically?
After the US military accused me of fleeing to China to sell national security secrets without evidence (essentially the illegal assassination that goes on inside the US against Asian, where they try to kill people without shooting them). It was only the 4th times in 11 years, so I was a bit fed up. Actually, extremely fed up. I challenged the white power completely. I went inside the police station to raised the issue, of hate crimes. I cited the historical cases of people dying where I work, and how it is a danger to the community. The sheriff took my report, and filed a report that state they referred the case to the US Air Force on Patrick Air Force base. Imagine how a criminal investigation would go when you file a rape charge against the priest, and the case is referred to the priest to investigate his own crime.
In what other cases does the public publicly shame and display images of those accused? How does society address the enforcement of laws against illegal political donations and the public censure of public officials who misuse American tax dollars for personal benefit? Or is this an instance of selective justice influenced by factors such as race?
The demographics of massage parlors can vary significantly based on location, type of services offered, and cultural factors. Here are some general observations regarding Asian vs. white-owned massage parlors:
Asian Massage Parlors
Ownership and Staffing: Often owned and operated by individuals from countries such as China, Thailand, Vietnam, or other Asian nations. Staff may include licensed massage therapists trained in traditional Asian techniques (e.g., Thai massage, acupressure).
Clientele: Typically attract a diverse clientele, including both Asian and non-Asian customers. Services may cater to individuals seeking traditional therapies or relaxation techniques.
Cultural Influence: Emphasis on holistic health practices and traditional methods. Some clients may be drawn to the authenticity of Asian techniques.
Perception and Misconceptions: There can be stereotypes or misconceptions about services offered, particularly regarding illicit activities. This can affect the perception of legitimate businesses.
White Massage Parlors
Ownership and Staffing: Usually owned by individuals from a variety of backgrounds, with staff often trained in Western massage techniques (e.g., Swedish massage, deep tissue).
Clientele: May attract a clientele that is interested in spa-like experiences or therapeutic massage. Often located in suburban areas or wellness centers.
Cultural Influence: Focus on relaxation and therapeutic benefits, with a strong emphasis on professionalism and certification.
Regulatory Environment: Typically operate under strict regulations and licensing requirements, which can enhance their legitimacy in the eyes of customers.

On March 16, 2021, eight people died following shootings at three massage parlors in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Six of the victims were Asian women. The shootings became a catalyst for the Stop AAPI Hate movement. Demonstrations against anti-Asian discrimination erupted around the country.

According to the nonprofit anti-trafficking organization Polaris Project, there were more than 9,000 illicit massage parlors in the United States in 2017, mostly staffed by Chinese women, aged 35-55, with at least one child in China. Their struggle is often one for family and dignity. Here is one woman’s story.
