No Comment: Always a Happy Ending?

Apparently racism and sexual exploitation are chic at one of the most popular nightclubs in Las Vegas.

This ad for Tao Nightclub plays on Orientalist tropes about Asian women’s sexuality, and makes light of the many underground “massage” operations that offer “happy endings” in North America. It’s certainly not a happy ending for exploited, often undocumented, women workers, who bear the brunt of legal action when these fake massage parlors get busted.
