Sad but needed - it was not so long ago my wife had to resort to changing her picture to a blond caucasian women in order to book stays on Airbnb. If she used her actual picture the properties would suddenly be unavailable or had just been booked by someone else. She would always put her picture back after she booked and more then one jaw dropped when a non-blonde non-caucasian showed up - “how did I miss that?” But otherwise polite. Airbnb proper seems to have a much different attitude and not afraid to challenge their hosts. She would have the same problem renting apartments - in one case she walked into the rental office just two minutes after hanging up the phone and suddenly they had no units available and the rental agents were all at lunch and not expected to return until the next day.
