Travelling in Marrakech was the worst. is this the new norm there?

I visited Marrakesh last week with two of my friends. I'm Moroccan and they are Chinese. Our experience was the worst and I don't know if this is now normal, or if it's just us..

1- Catcalling: my friend was bothered a lot by random men in the medina, even if she was not alone. they kept giving her weird looks and sometimes they tried to trip her while walking.

1- Insults: Some of the sellers spoke to us, which is normal, but when we politely declined they proceeded to insult us in Darija. I'm Moroccan so I understand every time even when they think I don't. I replied to some of them and asked them to be polite and that they shouldn't speak to us like that, but they double down when they realise I speak Darija and get even more aggressive.

I was really hurt by how we were treated. I heard so much racist comments about my friends, and some really hurtful comments targeting me. Last time I visited Marrakech was in 2020, right before lockdown, and my experience then was normal.

I'm aware that I could have contacted the police, which I almost did in one occasion until the seller started apologising with tears and begging us to not report him. But this is time consuming and would ruin the holiday if we have to do it every few meters.

I just want to know if this is how things are in Marrakech now that it has become even more popular? or has it always been like this?

obviously, I'm never going back there. My friends never want to visit Morocco as well which is quite sad considering so many other cities are beautiful. But Marrakech ruined everything for us
