I flinch when customers ask for two-hour massages, demanding the masseuses perform grueling work. In the massage parlor, silence is not deafening, but brimming with hope. In the massage parlor, there is familiarity in the way masseuses gently nod at me. There is the rushing pace to find a clients room and my quick response instructing them where to go. AdvertisementImmigrants build their lives out of parlors and spas, partly because the jobs give them a chance without using English  a language that united the majority of the world but ostracized them, the minority.
The man who is asking for a two-hour massage is not the one they want to see.
