The lady approved of the extra people and dogs ahead of time for an added fee.

  Where did you get it from? The comment on the video they have in the article says: > "if you think 4 people and 2 dogs are getting a room for $50 a night on big bear mountain during the busiest weekend of the year...you are insanely high".

    > "When Suh later asked if it was OK to bring two friends and two dogs along, Barker said it was fine but the group would need to pay an additional $50 a night, according to screenshots of their text messages." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/13/airbnb-california-racist-comment-penalty-asian-american https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/13/airbnb-ca... They didn't put all the text messages in the video.

      I wonder why they did not put the most important part of the conversation in the video? Instead they put the part where the host is not approving the request?

  She had approved knowing the race of the person so the reason she cancelled was definitely not racist. I think she was just stupid enough to make those remarks and I hope she is being punished for that. Otherwise, this is wrong.

    You are presuming people or racism is logical. It is common for someone to say one thing then mean another, it is so common we even have words for it. It is also entirely possible the racist person did this intentionally to maximize the inconvenience to the renter. There are hundred other ways to explain this. Some racist and some not racist, but dropping phrases as overtly racist as hers has a way of sounding truthful in situation like this.

      >dropping phrases as overtly racist as hers Which "words" are we talking about? Had she avoided saying "one word: Asian", this would not have been a story.

        Don't leave out "I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners." I'm sure someone will try to argue that "foreigners" isn't racist because race and country of origin are different, but the intent is obvious enough.
