Trump voting AirBnB Host Cancels Reservation because renter is Asian
I really hope this isn't some hoax, but if true - this is disgusting:

Re: Trump voting AirBnB Host Cancels Reservation because renter is Asian
This isn't the first time I've read about issues with AirBnB hosts.
There was one article saying that hosts were denying reservations to people that they thought were black based on their name.

Maybe it's because the article says the host feels they can discriminate because Trump is president?

Right. Because only Trump supports are racist.

Re: Trump voting AirBnB Host Cancels Reservation because renter is Asian
Everyone knows how much I love 45.... but I don't think this has any relation to him at all. Racists are racists. It may be a coincidence that a racist happened to vote for trump, but him being in office (golf course...) doesn't have any correlation to these idiots.
Yes, the host threw out his name, but she would have done the exact same thing if we had a different president.

I wonder why they are protecting the identity of the host. Why would the host not out herself? It's obvious that she thinks she's justified in discriminating against this woman.

Yes, racists will be racists but Trump has emboldened them. Trump has made it pretty clear that if you're not white than you're the enemy and undesirable in America. The host even texted, "It's why we have Trump."
