According to Esther Kao, "an organizer with Red Canary Song, a New York-based collective of Asian and Asian American advocates for massage parlor workers and sex workers," quoted in "Fetishized, sexualized and marginalized, Asian women are uniquely vulnerable to violence" (CNN).
From the article:
The way their race intersects with their gender makes Asian and Asian American women uniquely vulnerable to violence, said Sung Yeon Choimorrow, executive director of the non-profit advocacy group National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum.
The perceptions of Asian and Asian American women as submissive, hypersexual and exotic can be traced back centuries. Rachel Kuo, a scholar on race and co-leader of Asian American Feminist Collective, points to... the Page Act of 1875... enacted seemingly to restrict prostitution and forced labor. In reality, it was used systematically to prevent Chinese women from immigrating to the US, under the pretense that they were prostitutes.
US imperialism has also played a significant role in those attitudes, Kuo said.American service members, while abroad for US military activities (including the Philippine-American War, World War II and the Vietnam War), have a history of soliciting sex workers and patronizing industries that encouraged sex trafficking.
That furthered denigrating stereotypes of Asian women as sexual deviants, which were memorialized on screen. All of those perceptions "have had the effect of excusing and tolerating violence by ignoring, trivializing and normalizing it," Kuo said.Those stereotypes also feed into perceptions of "Asian women as cheap and disposable workers," said Kuo....
ADDED: This analysis functions to characterize the murderer as racially motivated even if it is true that he was, as he's said, motivated by tormenting sexual addiction. Why did he think killing these women had to do with sex? As Kao, puts it, above, it is racially prejudiced to look at these masseuses as see them as prostitutes.
