The topic of race was already raised in the grandparent post, I quote (emphasis mine):

> I have heard of the same in Ethiopia around the 90's. For white worker it was expected to:

While I'm sure exploitation happens in most cultures I'm mostly familiar with it happening in white culture and given that context was already specified and my education being based on that context I decided to keep my reply specific to that context which I already knew.

Sorry if I offended anyone -- I just figured being a white male myself it was more offensive to drag other cultures into the discussion when they were previously outside the scope.

> Curiously, you said “rich white people” forgoing the one prejudice that actually does predict sexual exploitation - men!

I didn't need to specify men because that context was already defined in the post I was responding to. To quote the GP again:

> This was OK if you where a man, a couple or a family. If you where a young woman... good luck with this.

Frankly though, moaning about other cultures doing it too feels a little like trying to pull others down so we don't look so bad instead of acknowledging our own failings. Maybe that's an uncomfortable opinion for people to hear but as the saying goes "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".
