It harks back to Europeans having more freedom of speech than the Middle East, China etc. People in Europe can openly report harassment for how they dress or openly report a hate crime whereas in other parts of the world, minorities don't report hate crimes etc. because them countries and the police foces there don't care about minorities.
It is like how rape is higher in Sweden because of how openly the term Rape is defined in law and how easily something can constitute as rape. In the Middle East, if a woman is raped, she is ARRESTED for having sex outside of marriage so it goes unreported.
Similarly if a Muslim is harassed for her attire in Europe, they know they can report it as they have rights whereas in the Middle East, no European would report harassment for how they dressed as the Governments in the Middle East would probably accuse the European woman for indecency

Wait hold on. Something isn't right here.
How come in that other thread about the US being more open to race, people were saying how Europeans are oblivious to racism and simply don't care. Since Americans are so over the top and sensitive.
Now you claim the opposite. Europeans are more sensitive to racism and hate and are more willing to report it.
Something doesn't add up here.
