Hello,
I just wanted to share the below with you, it has been referenced in a couple of other topics already here in the CC, for future reference please keep in mind the following regarding Airbnb:
Airbnb’s mission is to build a community of belonging. We believe that by sharing our homes, meeting people from across the world, and experiencing different cultures, we can foster the understanding that leads to that community of belonging.
We published our Standards and Expectations, which are an expression of our community’s shared values, and were created based on what hosts and guests have told us they view as acceptable conduct and behavior when using Airbnb. A foundational value in these Standards that relates to your particular question is the principle of Fairness; specifically the section on Discriminatory Behavior or Speech. On Airbnb, this value requires that members of our community “follow all applicable laws and not treat others differently because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, disability, or serious diseases”.
While we recognize that places may have varying laws about treating people differently because of their race, nation of origin or other characteristics, we think this behavior is detrimental to building our community of trust and belonging. If we become aware that a member of our community has explicitly violated this standard, adverse action may be taken on their account,including potentially removal from the Airbnb community. (Read Airbnb’s anti-discrimination policy here)
We know that our mission is ambitious and understand the global challenges we may face in working towards it. With that said, we remain committed to making Airbnb one of the most open, trusted, diverse, transparent and accepting communities in the world. We strongly encourage you to read our most recent blog entry on this very issue and how Airbnb is addressing it. Most importantly, we encourage you to continue to explore ways to interact with people from all backgrounds to find the common threads that bring us together.
Thank you for sharing your constructive thoughts here. I am going to close this thread now.
