Chris Hedges talks to May Jeong on the complex but old roots of the “Atlanta shootings”

Chris Hedges interviews May Jeong

The roots trace all the way back to anti-chinese prejudice and hatreds in the 19th century, often culminating in massacres of Chinese people, discriminatory laws, and later the expansion of US imperialism throughout Asia, with its military culture of bases surrounded by bars, massage parlors, and sex and drugs establishments. Entire regions and even countries —Philippines, Vietnam, Korea—have been turned into whorehouses to service the mllions of sex-hungry young GIs, and now Thailand, too, has become the choice destination for sex "tourists" from Europe, America, and other richer nations.
