[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."] https://twitter.com/MsIbegbuna https://news.sky.com/story/airbnb-in...epted-11835804 ![]() Sign Of The Times Last edited by Niamh.; 15-10-2019 at 08:44 AM. |
