"I'd stay away from these issues on HN unless we really have something valuable and new to add." Enough with this rubbish - your comment is that of the totalitarian. Homes are not businesses, and people have a right to decide who they let it - and not. It's not a simplistic decision, and there are probably many factors. Personally - if someone looked like a scruffy bum, I don't think I'd want them renting my AirBnB if I had a place. Frankly, I don't care if it's 'discriminatory'. More importantly - shutting down the discussion with political y loaded ideology is just wrong. These are nuanced issues, you don't get to win by saying the word 'racist'.
