To be fair I think « protected class » specifically refers to the US definition here. Hence the choice of words. The CoC doesn’t use « protected characteristics » or « protected grounds ». But including this filter in itself is weird. Why would they specifically talk about harassment on protected classes instead of just harassment? Does it mean someone who’s not a protected class can be harassed and no one will lift a finger? That seems overly toxic and exclusive to me.
