I'm sorry I'm still not over the massage parlor shootings. This guy explicitly targeted sex workers, both his stated motive and every piece of evidence points to this, yet the discourse is almost entirely about general anti-Asian hate crimes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings#Motive …

I am really enraged. Absolutely furious. Even if asian-ness *was* a factor, which it easily might not have been (not all killed were asian, asians tend to populate easily-accessible massage parlors, and he could have easily targeted non-sex-work asians),

then the dominant discussion here should *still* be about sex workers. I am really stunned to the degree that the entire world doesn't give a shit about sex workers and wants to redirect everything into race. This is just another, horrible notch in my doubt of racism discourse.

I have Asians on my FB who would never dream of doing sex work, and aren't at risk of going to jail or bearing the social stigma, posting about how afraid they are now because of the shootings. And I'm sitting here as a sex worker like... wait why are *you* the one who's afraid?
