At some point soon, someone who is sued for harassment is going to seek to invalidate the law on the ground that outlawing sexual harassment of minorities or women in the workplace violates the First Amendment.

A white student harassed black classmates at Columbia University on Sunday, shouting "white people are the best thing that happened to the world," according to the Columbia Daily Spectator.
Witnesses told the student newspaper that Julian von Abele was harassing a group outside the Butler Library and then followed them to a campus dining spot while using racist language.
The incident was captured on video and has been viewed more than 1 million times as of Monday morning. The university denounced the "racially charged incident."
The student said in the video that white people "built modern civilization" and "did everything."
