Renting To Whites Only.
29 Answers
It seems disgusting that such a thing happens nowadays. Maybe because they are amateur landlords they think they can go against the law.

Racism can be effected on anyone, from any source. But the example given is about racism against black people.
When my Northern Irish Dad was looking for accommodation in London after the war, he came across signs that said "no blacks, no dogs and no Irish"
I doubt there were any similar signs in B+B windows that said "No whites, no dogs, no English" so its not a very level playing field is it ?

Unlawful to try to hire a Scottish cook ( race see ? ) but OK for one that speaks scottish or cooks porridge

O and the word is letting
letting to whites only - letting to whites only - letting to whites only

easy to remember - Landlords let on a lease

The other thing is this idea of "X preferred" being ok. It's basically obscured discrimination since those who are not X will feel inclined not to try, whilst those who are not X but do try are likely to be refused anyway. I think it is difficult to frame a law that allows reasonable preferences to be stated whilst avoiding unfair discrimination.
But the overt discrimination is ridiculous and one would have thought the owned of the ad board would have refused the ad or risk prosecution.

from the article
"As Airbnb is based in California, we asked a lawyer there whether Airbnb could be potentially liable in the United States if hosts racially discriminate there. "The Fair Housing Act is a federal statute and it almost certainly applies to a company that's engaged in making housing available on a widespread basis," David Oppenheimer told Trending."
yeah sounds like England all right

//Trending contacted the host in question and he disputed Selden's claims. The host said the reason he had turned down Selden's request was because the requested booking was for a single night and the cleaning required for such a short rental would be a hassle. He added that his wife was in general not comfortable with young male guests staying at the house when he was away. He also said Selden's profile had no reviews.
As a final note he added it "just didn't feel right. It was a gut feeling.. I have hosted African Americans before. That gave him no ground to prove that I'm rejecting him based on his race. He is just trying to victimise himself."//
