True but if the company just hooks people up, then I don't think it's fair to label the company racist because a few private owners said something stupid, any more than it is to label McDonalds because some clerks at a few restaurants attacked customers

To be fair, it's not the company that's racist, but the folks refusing to rent to POC and transgender folks.

I don't think it is fair to label Abb.racist, but this is their issues to get ahead of and manage.

They're trying, but more places are opening up to cater to minorities, which saddens me.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.

Because it's not the majority, it's more minorities making things specifically for minorities. Which doesn't solve the problem. It's frustrating that we aren't accepted, then we go and have to create something for us exclusively, then get told it's not fair the majority can't have something that's just exclusive for them, not realizing minorities want to be included, but aren't allowed to be.

For the records: I am ok with Transgender folks having their own dating sites

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.

Wow we agree on one

A direct and accurate analogy is the classified ads for real estate in the news paper ( you remember newspapers)

They provide clear guidance and policy on what language can be used in their ads

You can discriminate if the unit is part of your current home. Such as a garage apt

I did read about a lady who was offering a safe space and did not want any nasty people staying with her.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
