@Sumana5 Well, many of those posts, at least on this Airbnb hosting forum, which mention ethnicities or race, get reported by other posters as discriminatory and are taken down, or the offending part blocked out.
I actually acknowledge that there are cultural differences, although within those, not everyone is like that, and that it shouldn't always be considered discriminatory to mention them, as long as it leads to greater understanding, rather than prejudice.
For instance, I've read posts where hosts said their guests were disgustingly unhygenic because they were throwing their used toilet paper in the basket, rather than flushing it. It had to be explained to them that there are many countries where the plumbing can't handle tp and it's normal to put the paper in the basket, otherwise the toilet would plug up, and that that's probably what their guests were used to, it wasn't that they were acting like pigs.
And hosts who live in multicultural neighborhoods or maybe predominently black or Latino have had guests who claimed the area was "sketchy" or that they felt unsafe, not because of reality, but because of their own prejudices. So those hosts need listing wording like "This is a vibrant, multicultural, multiracial neighborhood " to warn away the racist, fearful types.
And there was a thread here started by a Chinese host who lived in the US, I think, tiitled "Read this before hosting Chinese guests" or something like that, explained, among other things, why Chinese guests often flood the bathroom (as bathrooms in much of Asia are"wet rooms", all concrete with a drain in the floor, so they may not even know to put the shower curtain inside the tub or surround when showering, or that the water will destroy the wooden subfloor).
That info helps other hosts who may think the guests are just being stupid or disrespectful, when they simply are unfamiliar with how things work outside their own country.
But of course, unwanted sexual advances are not appropriate anywhere and not to be excused because of culture. And being stuck in your home with someone like that is uncomfortable, and often scary or dangerous. A little innocent flirting might be not a big deal to some women, as long as the guy backs off the moment it's evident you aren't reciprocating. But even that can be an uncomfortable annoyance, isn't appropriate to a guest/host relationship, and can make things feel strange for the rest of the guest's stay. If there's some mutual attraction, it can always be pursued after the stay is over.
I had one male guest invite me out for dinner the first night of his stay, but there was no sexual innuendo at all from him, he was just being nice and didn't want to eat out alone, so that was fine.
