Massage parlour rule changes in Newmarket discriminate against Asian women, critics say
Proposed changes to a bylaw regulating massage parlours in Newmarket are racist and discriminate against the Asian women who work in them, community advocates say.
Newmarket town council, which is expected to ratify the changes on Monday, recently voted to change the name of body rub or massage parlours to “personal wellness establishments.” Now, it’s looking at new rules governing the operation of the businesses and the qualifications of the “personal wellness attendants” employed in them.
??? I thought we were supposed to de-fetishize “Asian” women after Atlanta. Remember Layton’s “Community Clinic?”
