Steve Sailer: “A lot of the new Sharing Economy unicorns get an edge by ignoring anti-discrimination laws. They’re high tech! So they don’t have to obey the laws that weigh down old-fashioned businesses.”
It is just common sense that a landlord will be more careful about renting to blacks because they have such high crime and dysfunction rates. It is just common sense to be more careful about picking up blacks if you are a taxi driver and it is just common sense to avoid large gatherings of blacks if you don’t want to get stabbed, mugged or shot.
Many AirBNB hosts I know won’t rent to blacks. The sharing economy only works with people you can trust.
Blacks are not inherently inferior to non-blacks. They just have their own gift set. Every people have their own gifts. Every people have their own norms. Every people should use common sense to spend time with those who share their values. Blacks understandably find whites uptight and stiff because compared to blacks, whites lack spontaneity and grace. From a white perspective, asians are boring. From an asian perspective, non-asians are dangerous. From a Muslim perspective, non-Muslims are infidels. From a Christian perspective, non-Christians are lost. From a Jewish perspective, goyim are stupid. From a goyish perspective, Jews are clannish.

African American travelers may have a harder time securing an Airbnb rental than white ones, according to a new study from Harvard Business School.
In an experiment, the researchers found that Airbnb hosts were 16% less likely to accept fictional guests with African American-sounding names than guests with white-sounding names — even though the guests had otherwise identical profiles.
On Airbnb, ordinary people can rent out their own housing as lodging. Airbnb users see the service as a win-win: Hosts make some money by renting out extra space, and guests can stay in accommodations with more character and lower costs than a hotel. However, the vast growth of Airbnb has raised some legal questions, as rentals may violate city housing codes and guests might not have the same safety protections as they would at hotels.
The Harvard Business School study raises another question: Are guests more vulnerable to discrimination when individual hosts have the power to accept and reject applicants based on their profiles? “Clearly, the manager of a Holiday Inn cannot examine names of potential guests and reject them based on race,” the researchers write. “Yet, this is commonplace on Airbnb, which now accounts for a growing share of the hotel market.”
