Especially if we are talking about the majority of people who are bosses (since a lot of the workplace sexual harassment involves bosses, or boss-equivalents, putting subordinates in sexually uncomfortable situations, or looking the other way when brought allegations of such behavior).
yeah... what makes you think bosses are the majority of this?
This thread and the media reports I have been reading.
We need to be clear about what "this" is for the discussion to work.
Most of the kinds of sexual harassment complaints that have gotten a lot of media attention in the last few months have involved situations in which workers were mistreated by producers, directors, star actors, star journalists. People who had power over the victims in the workplace.
Sure, there are also lots of cases of sexual harassment between coworkers of equal status, but those have not been where the focus has been lately in the film and television industries and in journalism. Besides which, even in the cases of sexual harassment between coworkers of equal status, most of the cases are still likely to involve whites by virtue of the simple fact that there are more whites in the workforce.
still. the majority who are guilty whether they are accused or not, are not white. i have known a lot of non-white people who take their non-whiteness to a higher level and hold themselves to a higher standard. they get what they want because they 'are a minority'. and if you tell them they can't get what they want, then you're a racist.
ps: not white does not mean black. it means, other than white. that means all the other races.

We have been discussing Hollywood and the news media/entertainment industry, primarily in the US.
What makes you think the majority who are guilty are not white?
(Let me state for the record that I do not believe the introduction of race, religion, or ethnicity into this discussion is helpful. Sexual misbehavior involves/affects all groups.
I am responding to what others have stated here.)
