- Airbnb host must pay $5,000 for canceling reservation based on race
|
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-airbnb-discrimination-20170713-story,amp.html
An Airbnb host who canceled a woman’s reservation because of her race has agreed to pay $5,000 in damages and take a course in Asian American studies, a state regulatory agency announced Thursday. The host, Tami Barker, told the woman who reserved her Big Bear cabin for a ski vacation in February that she would not rent to an Asian, justifying the action by adding in a text message, “It’s why we have Trump,” referring to President Trump. The woman, Dyne Suh, a UCLA law student, said she was driving in a snowstorm to the Big Bear cabin when she received the text messages via the Airbnb mobile app. A tearful Suh, standing in the snow, shot a video posted on YouTube, describing her exchange with Barker. “I’ve been here since I was 3 years old,” she said in the video. “America is my home. I consider myself an American. But this woman discriminates against me because I’m Asian.” In the video, Suh shows screen shots of the exchange, including a message from Barker saying, “It’s is why we have Trump” and, “I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners.” Under an agreement reached after an investigation by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, Barker agreed to pay Suh $5,000 in damages, issue her an apology and attend a college-level course on Asian American studies, among other penalties. I'm surprised this is the first time such a penalty has been levied. Air BnB is rife with discrimination. Hopefully they'll continue to use this to curb racists

You should never be forced to rent your home to anyone you don't want, for any reason. The concept of financial damages is ridiculous.
With that said, Airbnb is a business, and I support their right to boot this host from their program if they're discriminating based on race. You are not entitled to use their platform if you won't adhere to their policies on equal treatment.

This idiot had all the time in the world to send that message, why wait until the day she's driving. At this point I can only presume he knew she was Asian from the start and waited out of malicious intent. Fine him more for her inconvenience and emotional distraught.

If you're renting your home out and using it as a business you shouldn't be able to discriminate your clientele based on race. This should go without saying. It's the same thing as a hotel denying someone a room because they're black.

Then don't sign up for the program and then boot somebody because their grandparents f***ed a few thousand miles from where your grandparents f***ed. Boot someone for being a felon or something like that? Fine. Boot someone for a reason that is obviously against an agreement you signed? Not fine. You were a mod. This chick broke AirBnB's ToS. |

The reason is "this is my house, and I will never let anyone in here I don't want." Once your home is offering services as a business, in any official respect, I disagree. The distinction between home and business becomes arbitrary when the home IS the place of business imo. If you are willing to sell entry into your house through an official platform, you should have to abide by the sorts of regulations that come with it. This is the kind of thing that isn't worth arguing about though, since I highly doubt your idea of "home" will change over forum posts.

No, it isn't, because a hotel is a business and governed by a different set of laws. Your home is your home. You are free to discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever you want. That's a privilege that comes with owning property. Airbnb has the right to tell you to f*** off and ban you from using their platform, but no one has the right to force you to let other people into your home that you're uncomfortable with.

There's no reason for you to be arguing that but since LIBERALS are ok with the fine, you have to be upset with some part of it. |

It's really no different than suing a landlord for racial discrimination in his properties. It's 100% different, because your home is not a commercial property that you're renting as a business. You have a legal right to discriminate in your home, and usage of Airbnb doesn't change that.

It's like an Uber driver picks up a Mexican customer and tells him to get out of the car because he's Mexican. You don't see anything wrong with that?

Yeah, outside of those hours I can do what I want. Sure that makes me a racist, but it's still my rights.

If you host your home as a business, you get treated like a business.
My knee reaction is businesses should be able to disctimate based on race, or sexual orientation or religion and you should be able to be smoking or non smoking and that health inspections should be optional and paid to a private company by the business as part of their advertising.
I also live in a relatively big and diverse area where the free market would offer plenty of alternatives and likely put that place under quickly.
That said I imagine in the middle of nowhere flyover state with one store and one restaurant this would be far easier to be abused and I understand the reasoning for the law.

Literally no one is denying that you have the right to deny people, no matter who they are, on your personal property. But when you turn your personal property INTO BUSINESS PROPERTY, DURING THAT TIME YOU DO THAT, you have to follow the laws set by the government when it comes to businesses.
If you put your house on AirBNB every weekend, you need to follow the laws of the land that all businesses follow during the weekend. During the weekday? Do whatever the f*** you want.

Using Airbnb or Uber as a side business does not transform your personal property into commercial property. Those are merely platforms; they're not legal agreements that change the set of laws governing your property.
So you are pretty much saying that Airbnb or Uber should be the ones responsible. However that guy who willingly violates the terms of agreement he signed when subscribing to those businesess has no fault at all? Have you ever considered that whomever signed up to Airbnb should have at least a little bit amount of brains to know not to sign up for something they won't want to do?
It seems you are one of those guys who thinks doing ilegal or bad things is correct, unless someone catches you doing it.Go and watch Ef ~ A tale of memories now!http://fortune.com/2016/06/23/airbnb-discrimination-laws/Typically sales and rentals of a single-family home aren’t covered by the FHA, provided the owner doesn’t have more than three such homes at one time, and the sale isn’t advertised or handled by an agent or broker. Yet legal experts say the FHA could apply here, because Airbnb is helping as an agent for a short term rental.
“ If it’s a separate property, such as a vacation rental, and you don’t live in the property, the FHA covers you ,” says Tom Spiggle, founder of Spiggle Law Firm, which specializes in discrimination law, based in Arlington, Va.

It won't do s***, except make the homeowner more resentful.

I suspect the next time they want to discriminate, they will know not to be stupid enough to mention race....I gotta question if this story's even real or a propaganda piece. Had the woman been Mexican the trump comments would of made some sense. Or middle eastern. But Asian? Where did this happen, the deep south??

My argument is that your primary residence is not a business just because you rent out a room, and it is not governed by those laws, which is correct. No one has posted anything contrary to that. The only argument of any substance that has been made is that this is the woman's secondary vacation home (i.e. not a primary residence), so it qualifies for different regulation.- The AdmiralThe Admiral posted...DrizztLink posted...

At any rate, Airbnb's website is pretty clear
https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1405/airbnb-s-nondiscrimination-policy--our-commitment-to-inclusion-and-respect?topic=533As a general matter, we will familiarize ourselves with all applicable federal, state, and local laws that apply to housing and places of public accommodation. Hosts should contact Airbnb customer service if they have any questions about their obligations to comply with this Airbnb Nondiscrimination Policy. Airbnb will release further discrimination policy guidance for jurisdictions outside the United States in the near future. Guided by these principles, our U.S. and EU host community will follow these rules when considering potential guests and hosting guests:
Airbnb hosts may not
Decline a guest based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.
Impose any different terms or conditions based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.
Post any listing or make any statement that discourages or indicates a preference for or against any guest on account of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.

So, still gonna keep up your s***, or is this gonna turn into an argument about contract law?

Are you seriously saying that if you advertise a room for rent you're legally allowed to deny people based on race?I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen...thronedfire2 posted...Are you seriously saying that if you advertise a room for rent you're legally allowed to deny people based on race?
He's not wrong, unfortunately. The FHA has some carveouts to it.

Are you a landlord who does that for a living? No.
Are you renting out a room in your home for extra income? Yes.
I bet you would enjoy life in the 19th century. I'd imagine you'd fit right in with a bunch of double digit IQ racists.Ask me if I would eat da booty.Sativa_Rose posted...Lmao apparently the AirBNB host is an ESL teacher too... so her job is literally teaching English to people who are in the US who don't already speak it. And yet she's still this much of an ignorant racist?
What makes you think her job would have anything to do with her own feelings on different groups of people? She teaches people English apparently. Her proficiency as a teacher has zero to do with whether or not she likes Asians, for example....Lorenzo_2003 posted...Sativa_Rose posted...

It's just shocking that someone who constantly works with non-Caucasians would hate on a group like that.I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.- Boards
