    I always get harrassed by black guys, more so than any other group. I think this is because flirting with and bothering women in the street is encouraged among young urban men more than any other group. I was once followed by a 10-year-old boy who was followed by his father, encouraging him on with, ‘get the digits son!’ He couldn’t understand my dismay at the disrespectful ways he was teaching his son; he thought it was normal.

    In regard to the response, there’s no perfect one – if you ignore them, you’re a bitch/stuckup/lesbian, and if you’re friendly, they’ll follow you home, insisting that you give them your number, and become a nuisance. What I usually do is pretend I don’t hear them and go about my business. Always walk with purpose and keep your head up and don’t let anyone intimidate you.

    Though, saying that, most guys who try and talk to girls in the street mean no harm, they’re just uncooth and too dumb to realize that they’re not doing you a favor. I’m sure women of all races encounter this by men of all races. You are not racist to be cautious of aggressive men – you are just exercising common sense.
