Here in Massachusetts, massage parlors that employ Asian immigrants (who plan to become Americans) have been accused of human trafficking or at the very least taking advantage of recent immigrants. I wonder if that would be why harassment was taken less seriously in Atlanta before the shootings.

What is the community policy on linking to posts like this offsite? I know some folks on Facebook would appreciate it.

Speaking as a mod, I've no problem with the post being linked elsewhere. (We can always tighten moderation in the very unlikely event we attract trolls.) But I'd prefer it if chestnut_pod, as the OP, gave the OK as well before you link.
