ercmilla··on Racist hosts, not hotels, are the greatest threat to Airbnb's business
Who knows - if the neighbors knew it was an AirBnB home then why would they get so worried?

There are lots of explanations for their actions that are completely reasonable. But when there is otherwise no evidence of racism, let's shout racism as loud as we can because the "movement" is more important than the facts.

So a guy all of a sudden sees strangers in his neighbors house. Nevermind their color - wouldn't you be suspicious if you all of a sudden saw 2 20-something dudes in your neighbors house? I know I would - I wouldn't even think twice about their color.

This is the example the article is holding up as the example of racism and it isn't even racist.

The trans example: I'm 100% for property owners deciding what they will and won't use their private property for. Get over it. You can't go through life getting offended at every opinion different from yours, even if you think it's irrational.
