AirBnB host fined for racism.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40602926I believe deep down most people are racist and simply let the anger simmer without boiling over.
Yes....some saints among you but the majority of us have some sort of prejudice.
I believe the acid attacks, the Islamic terrorism and a whole host of other ills is down to the UK having so many foreigners and cultures.
E.g. I do not know a single Romanian that is not into crime and fraud.
Kind strange discriminating agasnt one most intelligent biggest races on planet
Out 8 Billion people on planet it is in fact white people that are the Minority race on planet and getting smaller and smaller.
Asians and Black's are the Majority on this planet and growing,
So you not doing your business any favours turning away smart intelligent Asians.
Sorry as I am a white bigoted old racist, I am not allowed to practice free speech anymore in this country, other minority groups of course are free to say whatever they like against me, but I don't mind, I want fall down crying or start legal action.
A lot of these claims for racism, sexism anti gay etc is down to one simple thing Compensation. Because if I am offended lets jump up and down get some publicity and hopefully a nice payout. If I choose to discriminate by not renting a room etc my choice go some where else.
I live in Asia where discrimination against westerners is the norm. It has the governments blessing who have stated that westerners should be charged ten times the charge for locals.It seems they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.
We only have "hate crime" laws in uk to limit freedom of speech. No such limits in Middle East or Asia. In Saudi people are arrested for being openly Christian.
Muslims are intolerant of western values. They hate western way of life and yet they've been welcomed and the native population have to keep schtum or face arrest.
It's a politically correct creation to dilute identity.
I know what she did wrong, she spoke her mind, and the left doesn't like it.
If I want to rent a room or property it should be entirely my choice who I have to stay. And I believe it is my right to say no to various groups whether it be on race, gender or any other reason. World is far to PC.
Nanny state says you can't withhold YOUR property from asians? Why? You can do what you want with YOUR property.
Lefties man........... Grow a pair and shut up
Oh there are only 2 Genders too. Mic Drop!
This is pathetic. Why is she being prosecuted for not liking Asians? It's her property and the USA is not an Asian country so they can suck it up. Absolutely terrible and this PC madness means we're just going to give our territory away. Human beings are aggressive tribal creatures and they exploit and dominate tribes that are weak.
Why did the Asian not just go somewhere else? Why all the fuss?
I am white and Christian and I have been discriminated against many times but I simply don't let it bother me and I never make a political or social point about it.
Racism and prejudice is a bigger problem in most other countries.
@68 DeepSouthAmerican "a bit authoritarian"? It's crazed and insane Maoist claptrap. This bizarre approach to trying to eliminate an elemental, natural part of human nature (discrimination) among a single ethnic group, allied with sudden ethnic change in that ethnic group's territory (mass migration) creating an ethnically-contentious society, is *absolutely and obviously* the route to hell.
Why shouldn't she have the right to rent her property to who the heck she wants?
If you are going to criticize asians - it should be strictly for being the worst drivers on the planet - not for booking an hotel . . . . . .
I think that someone powerful is secretly trying to change human nature. The thought-police are no longer fictional.
IF I am naturally homophobic or racist or xenophobic I am silenced by the law.
This is victimisation of people who hold such feelings.
The law is turned on its head.
Patriotism was once a good thing, now it is evil.
Homosexuality was illegal, now homophobia is illegal.
Can there be freedom of expression if you're not allowed to call a spade a spade?
