I am survivor of violence therefore this new rules doesn’t protect me.
I called air bnb about an hr or so and they explained me because they don’t accept discrimination that is the reason, I used to have single picture they forced to exchange my picture than to have better clear picture and knows who is the host.
Let me know if you agree with me he said because sometimes with as host don’t get ppl base on their race, but I told them is not that is base on actitudes and also because they don’t add their government ID, but if they do this for guest they should do this for us also.
We should have our profile ID hide just to see if they would book and when they get our picture after booking let see if they continue with the booking.
I think is taking only one side because if it’s about racist that meant a that we are host from different background also so it would be possibilities that some one would not want to come to a house of the race that they don’t prefer.
In the place that I live there is one girl more like hippie and my picture look more professional so there is chances also that they discriminating her also or also who look cute.
I feel that this picture thing should be voluntary like if they don’t want to show their picture is fine but also if we don’t want to accept them because they don’t have picture is also good, because is not about racist is about safety reasons.
Please let me know what you think, we should start to call Airbnb and to let their know that we don’t feel this a good options cause we want to know who is coming to our house, specially if you are survivor.
