"Or if there is a difference then Airbnb could say if anything bad happens to your home then we got you." Wow, no. If the data shows that 'people of certain groups are more likely to cause damage' it's 'game over' ... they could never release the data. In fact, they probably don't want to even see the data, internally, it's explosive. There would be a big fuss over it, and maybe even some court cases. "if anything bad happens to your home then we got you." AirBnB can't afford to cover you getting raped or killed by someone staying in your home. People on this thread have misrepresented the issue by focusing on rentals as though they are commercial spaces, but a significant portion of rentals are merely places in people's home which is a giant difference. Moreover, what sane person would trust a giant corporation to support them in the event of some kind of severe or traumatizing thing, let alone just property damage? I almost wonder if the 'rent a room in my home' should be a completely different line of business from apartment rentals.
