Prostitution in Macau

I was hoping to expand the short Prostitution in Macau entry with some information on this topic (as has been done with Prostitution in China‎ and Prostitution in Hong Kong‎). Unfortunately I can find no material on the Karayuki-san specific to Macau – or indeed any other significant material on prostitution in Macau before the 1990s. Does anyone know of any?

Article needs style tuning

“Among the immigrants coming to northern Australia were Melanesian, South-East Asian, and Chinese who were almost all men, along with the Japanese, who were the only anomaly in that they included women, racist Australians who subscribed to white supremacy were grateful for and condoned the immigration of Japanese prostitutes since these non-white labourers satisfied their sexual needs with the Japanese instead of white since they didn't want white women having sex with the non-white males, and in Australia the definition of white was even narrowed down to people of Anglo Saxon British origin” Absolute state of that run on sentence. Someone needs to go through this one with a fine tooth comb, it’s an important subject. Lots of too charged run on language in the article. Iokerapid (talk) 00:31, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

misleading wording about amakusa-islands

Many of these women are said to have originated from the Amakusa Islands of Kumamoto Prefecture, which had a large and long-stigmatised Japanese Christian community.

This is misleading. Only tiny fragments of the population of Modern-day Amakusa islands are christian, they are said to be less than 1%^[1]. During Shimabara Rebellion(1637-1638), the entire christian population was nearly wiped out, and Tokugawa Shogunate ordered the Hans to send a large number of farmers to the Amakusa islands from other parts of Japanese archipelago to fill the deserted islands.^[2]^[3]^[4].

Due to the persecutions of christian, Amakusa Islanders were considered buddhist by the time Karayuki-san was first coined, when the women sold into Maruyama Yukaku(1642-) began commuting to 唐人屋敷(Chinese=Kara mansion) in nagasaki.

Please note that Japanese version of this topic translated the quoted sentence to mislead that most Karayuki-san and other middle-men were christian, which I commented out for a time being. Main rationale for the translation seems to be that christian and westerners were filthy, and corrupted the Japanese spirits for selling their own children to foreigners, i.e., a typical Japanese conspiracy theory.

I propose that the quoted sentence should be deleted, as they are factually wrong and could be used in future for Japanese xenophobic agenda which always lay the blames and complaints against non-japanese and their foreign cultures.2400:2410:C1A3:5300:14F1:6C0C:3A91:2905 (talk) 09:23, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
