Exactly! The AirBNB setup puts both parties in a vulnerable spot. If people are racist let them can my reservation, I don’t wanna see them either!

- teej 6y agoThis presumably helps Airbnb deplatform racist hosts, which is a better outcome in my opinion.
- ponker 6y agoI absolutely do NOT want that. Then hosts will learn to conceal their racism (unless they wanted to be deplatformed, in which case why wouldn’t they deplatform themselves?) and I might accidentally book with them.
- hunter2_ 6y agoI believe most attempts to counter racism involve shaming racists and therefore result in the concealment of racism rather than lack of racism, unfortunately. Just as teaching a kid to stop picking his nose or similar activities results in concealment more often than stoppage.
