Full article: Airbnb Host Who Canceled on an Asian Renter in a Hateful Rant Is Fined $5,000
This is an interesting and not so surprising development. Cacs have ruled that 1 of their own must pay a fine of $5000 and be forced to take a university ASIAN STUDIES course, because they refused to rent to an Asian AirbnB renter.
Now this comes as no surprise to black people, who deal with this sort of thing on a daily biases. There have been campaigns on tv to stop racism in AirbnB. We marched against AirbnB. And there is video of a black women being thrown down stairs from an AirbnB renter, video of blacks being denied. and comment after comment of blacks, rich and not rich being denied service from an AirbnB renter for no other reason except being "black". ALL of these black situations amounted to no real justice or change.
As usual, white people DOUBLED DOWN on their racism and started arguing that everyone should have the preference of renting to who they want....BUT HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
Because then a non-black person was discriminated against An Asian woman! We know how many racist white men have Asian women for wives, and we also know that Cacs are trying desperately to ally themselves with Asians who they (falsely) see as the 1 group of people who don't hate them for their past and modern day atrocities. And Chinese have money now, so
Justice! Justice for all! These cacs are so evil and hypocritical. Ya'll keep trying to win a MORALITY war with a group of people who collectively have no MORALS at all. Individually, maybe you can find some, but collectively?? NAH!

Barker has been banned from Airbnb since the incident took place. The DFEH and Airbnb entered an agreement this year, in which the DFEH would be allowed to "conduct fair housing testing of certain California hosts." This case is the first result of that agreement.
"The real story is how a charged and painful encounter led to an opportunity for reconciliation between the people involved, and to an opportunity for them to enhance the public's understanding of discrimination and civil rights in California," Kevin Kish, DFEH Director, stated in a press release.
Suh issued a statement on Facebook about the DFEH's ruling and stated that she hopes this incident encourages others "to come forward with their own stories.
