I don't think we ladies mean to point fingers at any race or nationality or say that staring and harassment only happens in the East or West. But I know where it doesn't happen and where it does. And if you want an example of it happening in the West, well, take certain parts of Latin America. It does happen there, I assure you. I used to hear hisses of "Rubio, rubio!" (hey, blondie) when I went shopping in Brazil.
