Promotions for the gym's massage services featured racist language directed toward Asian Americans.
, Island Personal Training accused nearby massage parlors in the area of operating as"brothels." The post also said unlike other nearby massage parlors, Island Personal Training is “not a dark shady, and/or dirty place that smells like Chinese food.”
The racist posts were first flagged in a Facebook group featuring more than a hundred members, ABC 7 reports, and have since received attention from STOPAAPIHate, a non-profit that tracks incidents of hate and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. “The kind of racist rhetoric and commentary adds to the persistent stereotypes that are not only offensive but really put out communities in danger, Cynthia Choi, one of STOPAAPIHate’s founders, told ABC 7.
Choi, who is also an executive director with Chinese for Affirmative Action, linked the gym’s language to the shooting spree at three spas and massage parlors in the Atlanta area last March, which saw eight people killed, including six Asian women, and another person wounded.
