[Airbnb says it is investigating after
a black woman claimed her booking
was rejected by a host in Spain - only for
her white friend's identical request
to be accepted later.
Ruth Ibegbuna, from Bradford,
hoped to book herself a flat
through Airbnb for a week in Spain,
and with her excellent guest reviews,
didn't envisage a problem from the
place she had her eye on.
But she says her request was declined,
only to then find her white friend
was able to make the same booking
without fuss.
She tweeted: "An Airbnb host in Spain
has declined my week-long booking
of her apartment despite all my excellent
reviews from previous hosts.
Asked a white friend to try for
same dates and it's suddenly available
after all....#EverydayRacism."]
