AIDS in Yunlin
A TVBS video report yesterday mentioned the massive increase in AIDS infections in Yunlin County over the last two years. The number of confirmed infections stands at 599, a seven fold increase over two years ago.
The entire video spends all it's time showing pictures from KTV-fronted brothels. Oh wait, blaming this problem on prostitution isn't enough -- it's the Vietnamese prostitutes. So dozens of images show KTV/brothels that advertise their Vietnamese working girls.
Just a little problem, as the report itself notes near the end -- of the 599 cases, 513 are IV-drug related. And there's apparently no evidence that Vietnamese prostitutes have anything to do with remaining infections.
Surely such an openly racist and sensational presentation of the issue should cause some sort of outrage.

"Surely such an openly racist and sensational presentation of the facts should cause some sort of outrage". yeah, among the expat community - the only ones who care about such things. i saw that report too. i just ignored it the same as any other "news" report.
