It's pretty easy. Airbnb have all the data they need. Infer the race/gender/sexuality of each guest using standard techniques and then look at relative acceptance/decline rates among hosts for those groups you wish to measure discrimination for. It's a few days work with a db/excel/python.
- ryuker16 10y agoAirbnb doesn't ask race. And quite alot of people come as 2nd guest so I have zero idea what even their name is. Not to mention, as a black airbnb host, minority guests were pretty rare. Had a few Asians and one black guy.
- red_admiral 10y ago> Infer the race/gender/sexuality of each guest using standard techniques I'm curious what the techniques are, especially with regards to sexuality? Or do you mean ask everyone when setting up their profile?
