Airbnb’s Nondiscrimination Policy: Our Commitment to Inclusion and Respect

Airbnb is, at its core, an open community dedicated to bringing the world closer together by fostering meaningful, shared experiences among people from all parts of the world. Our community includes millions of people from virtually every country on the globe. It is an incredibly diverse community, drawing together individuals of different cultures, values, and norms.

The Airbnb community is committed to building a world where people from every background feel welcome and respected, no matter how far they have traveled from home. This commitment rests on two foundational principles that apply both to Airbnb’s hosts and guests: inclusion and respect. Our shared commitment to these principles enables every member of our community to feel welcome on the Airbnb platform no matter who they are, where they come from, how they worship, or whom they love. Airbnb recognizes that some jurisdictions permit, or require, distinctions among individuals based on factors such as national origin, gender, marital status or sexual orientation, and it does not require hosts to violate local laws or take actions that may subject them to legal liability. Airbnb will provide additional guidance and adjust this nondiscrimination policy to reflect such permissions and requirements in the jurisdictions where they exist.

While we do not believe that one company can mandate harmony among all people, we do believe that the Airbnb community can promote empathy and understanding across all cultures. We are all committed to doing everything we can to help eliminate all forms of unlawful bias, discrimination, and intolerance from our platform. We want to promote a culture within the Airbnb community—hosts, guests and people just considering whether to use our platform—that goes above and beyond mere compliance. To that end, all of us, Airbnb employees, hosts and guests alike, agree to read and act in accordance with the following policy to strengthen our community and realize our mission of ensuring that everyone can belong, and feels welcome, anywhere.

• Inclusion – We welcome guests of all backgrounds with authentic hospitality and open minds. Joining Airbnb, as a host or guest, means becoming part of a community of inclusion. Bias, prejudice, racism, and hatred have no place on our platform or in our community. While hosts are required to follow all applicable laws that prohibit discrimination based on such factors as race, religion, national origin, and others listed below, we commit to do more than comply with the minimum requirements established by law.
• Respect – We are respectful of each other in our interactions and encounters. Airbnb appreciates that local laws and cultural norms vary around the world and expects hosts and guests to abide by local laws, and to engage with each other respectfully, even when views may not reflect their beliefs or upbringings. Airbnb’s members bring to our community an incredible diversity of background experiences, beliefs, and customs. By connecting people from different backgrounds, Airbnb fosters greater understanding and appreciation for the common characteristics shared by all human beings and undermines prejudice rooted in misconception, misinformation, or misunderstanding.

I wonder what the narrative would be if they had refused someone that was out of town to attend a BLM riot

Obviously #BLM and #HandsUp will be treated the same.

 

Otherwise it would be discriminatory.

there's an active chapter of blm in charlottesville. no riots yet. and no banning white people either. sorry to disappoint.

I thought we were looking at the organisations and what they preach and have done? Not what may or may not happen.

so it sort of makes sense that they wouldn't want to cater to a group who literally wants to eradicate those they deem undesirable (blacks and jews, primarily). having a hard time understanding why either of you are defending these losers.

blm doesn't preach killing off white people or jews. try again.

Yet they partner with other hate groups.

 

Something does not add up.

Obviously.  In my opinion, they are all hate groups.

and in my opinion, that's silly. the people meeting in charlottesville are very vocal about wanting to kill off minorities and rise back into a strong majority, as they believe themselves to be genetically pure over all other groups. i have not seen calls for thinning the herd from the blm camp, and blm have nothing to do with the event in charlottesville. i know there has been reporting from the right in attempts to smear blm (the same way the right attempts to smear black children killed by cops) but i don't pay much mind to the paranoia of people scared of what they don't understand. blm is not about putting black people over white people - or killing off white people. more distraction..

Sure and the first group you described is a hate group as I said.  The #BLM group just wants to kill off the cops which to me makes it a hate group as well.  Both groups do it through talk, and both groups do it through actions, or are you saying the cop killings in Dallas and Louisiana weren't actions by radicals in that group.  I realize that the leftist media wants to downplay any involvement by #BLM, but it seems pretty clear if not directly involved, they had influence.

blm doesn't want to kill cops. but you go on with that misinformation.

 

eta; if this guy had been a blm member, there would have been a posting fury over here from all the right wing sites calling blm terrorists. but no, just a regular white guy offing a cop - no terrorism here.

Can you provide a quote from BLM stating their proposed agenda is to "kill off cops"?

 

The people organizing this "rally" are very vocal and clear about the fact that they believe people who aren't white christians are evil, "satan's children" and should die. Please show us evidence that supports that BLM feels the same way about cops.

 

Not an individual spouting his views, but the organization as a whole please. Don't try to tell us "Oh that one guy holding that sign about jews being evil isn't respected by the rest of his "clan"...he is an outlier".

I knew a guy in my neighborhood who was a BLM member, we weren't friends or anything, but I heard stuff.

Those aren't real BLM members.
