Somehow AirBnB is responsible for stopping racism. Not the police. Not the court system. Not congress. Not the host who cancelled the booking. AirBnB needs to balance the scales of justice. It's a completely rational idea.

- txmx2000 10y ago"Address the issue" That doesn't mean anything. There's no issue here.
- vinay427 10y agoI see an societal issue that Airbnb can mitigate, and so do many of the commenters on this thread and on the article. I understand that you disagree, but some of us will gladly support alternatives that take a harder stance against what we see as injustices.
