Harassment is quite an issue here, and as anywhere, it has many dimensions. Because of my age and conservative dress, I imagine, I seldom experience any. Those of darker skin are often taken for Moroccans, so have a tough time convincing people they are Americans. Young women are a target for unwanted attention, especially those of Asian descent, as those nationalities are seldom seen here.
