I find this interesting because instead of choosing to find a different cabin and reward another AirBnb host that was not racist (vote with your wallet), the author went out of their way to still do business with this host. It seems like the inconvenience of booking indirectly was not enough of a deterrent to factor into the purchase of this rental.
I also note that the host did say:
> So sorry, but we are planning to be up there now 4th of July week afterall
I wont presume to know if the host was racially motivated or not, but the response seems entirely plausible - possibly plans really did change. Either way this does not seem like something AirBnb could even remotely affect with policy. I don't think anyone could say 'plans changing' is racist, whether it's true or not.
