Do you think the host should be allowed to treat others that way?
Why do you ask such a silly question? Of course this is really shit, if it's true. The point is I don't know whether this situation took place in real world or just anti-trump pr action. How do you know? Why the hell trump is in article about shitty host ?
I do not see what forcing a class on someone like this (especially at their age) will accomplish. Does anyone really think a semester long course is going to make her go "well, gee whiz, guess I shouldn't discriminate against those Asians anymore"?
Honestly I think it's better than nothing. Discrimination like this is usually based on complete ignorance/lack of exposure to different cultures. A course on Asian cultures may actually have some effect of humanizing the asian people for this particular bigot.
This is an interesting article. It makes no mention of the controversy leading up to these comments. People generally aren't racist when it comes to money. The host was triggered into a racist tirade after being informed the renter was bringing 2 extra people and 2 extra dogs. The guest informed her hosts while on route in a snowstorm. It's well within the hosts rights to declare the contractual reservation null and…
The law school curriculum is ever evolving isn't it..
As disgusting as the host's behavior is, her reasoning is correct: the political atmosphere has approved bigotry, racism, homophobia, and misogyny at the highest levels. Given that, how do we hold the public accountable for those offenses for which we forgive the state?
There's certainly some individuals in the gov't that hold and voice racist views, but while that's pretty gross, and a good reason to vote against them, it isn't really relevant here. If the woman had just said "I hate Asians", she wouldn't have been subject to any legal troubles (though she'd hopefully received a good dollup of social opprobrium). So again, I don't really see any double standard.

> giant weekend party
Hmm my frame of reference for 'giant party' must be different.
The lady canceled because she tried to show up with 4 extra friends and 2 dogs. edit: 2 extra friends.

This just isn't true. The host already approved of the extra guests and the extra dogs and only reneged when the tenant was enroute. You're bending over backwards to apologize for this racist host. > "When Suh later asked if it was OK to bring two friends and two dogs along, Barker said it was fine but the group would need to pay an additional $50 a night, according to screenshots of their text messages." https://www…
Looking at a chat history they show in the video (around 55 sec) it does not look like the host has approved extra guests and dogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=55&v=nuZn8iVQbSc
