Writer @mayjeong on the Asian women killed in the rampage near Atlanta this week: "As working women of color, they existed at the terrible nexus of race, gender and class." nyti.ms/3vHc0uk
"For now, we do not know whether the massage parlor workers who were killed would have considered themselves sex workers, and we may never know." nyti.ms/3vHc0uk 
"The stereotype of the Asian woman as simultaneously hypersexualized and submissive is borne of centuries of Western imperialism." nyti.ms/3vHc0uk
"The events were also informed by class: These women, some of whom were working class, almost certainly died because they were at work." nyti.ms/3vHc0uk
"Georgia reminds us — I hope — that anti-Asian violence is also anti-women violence, anti-poor violence, and anti-sex-work violence, that our fates are entwined," writes @mayjeong. nyti.ms/3vHc0uk
