There certainly are legitimate businesses there, I’ve been to a few.

There are plenty of Asian massage places that are fronts for prostitution and human trafficking. Across all 50 states.

Are you honestly taking issue with my statement that Asian massage parlors are frequently used as fronts for prostitution and human trafficking?

Just because a legitimate massage happens in one part of the building, does that preclude other activities in another room? No.

I take issue with you assuming 50 year old Asian women are prostitutes mainer Mar 2021 #18

If you're personally affected by this as an Asian woman okay. Arthur_Frain Mar 2021 #24
