Air bnb isn't allowing rampant discrimination anymore

[Swirv]

Got this email today from Airbnb.

Hi,

Earlier this year, we launched a comprehensive effort to fight bias and discrimination in the Airbnb community. As a result of this effort, we’re asking everyone to agree to a Community Commitment beginning November 1, 2016. Agreeing to this commitment will affect your use of Airbnb, so we wanted to give you a heads up about it.

What is the Community Commitment?

You commit to treat everyone—regardless of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias.

How do I accept the commitment?

On or after November 1, we’ll show you the commitment when you log in to or open the Airbnb website, mobile or tablet app and we’ll automatically ask you to accept.

What if I decline the commitment?

If you decline the commitment, you won’t be able to host or book using Airbnb, and you have the option to cancel your account. Once your account is canceled, future booked trips will be canceled. You will still be able to browse Airbnb but you won’t be able to book any reservations or host any guests.

What if I have feedback about the commitment?

We welcome your feedback about the Community Commitment and all of our nondiscrimination efforts. Feel free to read more about the commitment. You can also reach out to us at

Sounds like AA version of AirBnB and probably other off shoots got them tightening up.

Now we can rent without overtly being discriminated against instead of putting in the hard work of building to own for ourselves

They realized how easy it is to be replaced. With their business model it's possible to unseat them if enough people defect.

back to NOT recirculating our money among our AA community

 

[Groanman]

Boy, we love giving our money to racist CRACKERS

 

[Henri Christophe]

It's so amazing how much we'd rather be consumers and workers instead of being creators and employers


Rather fight and protest discrimination instead of building our own lane


Someone should make a thread on this topic

Like we ever stopped. BTW why can't you just use AirBNB to board up with black tenants, so that they get the money. Is that not possible?

It probably is possible. However, you also can't pick a place to stay based on a person's race I don't believe.

Idk, I've never used it. It seems like it would only make sense for them to tell you what the rentors look like given that they have to know what you look like.

I think when you are searching it shows a picture of the property, but you have to click on the property to see what the renter looks like....I think.
