On March 16, eight people, including six Asian women, were killed in shootings at three massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia. Because the targets were mainly Asian women, many were left to wonder if this constitutes a hate crime, but that was yet to be determined. The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity.” The identified suspect, Robert Aaron Long, told officials that the motive of these attacks traced back to his sex addiction, as the parlors were a “temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
