Racist Airbnb host ordered to take Asian American studies

Tami Barker canceled Dyne Suh's Airbnb reservation because she is Asian. Now she'll pay.



Remember the racist Airbnb host who canceled a guest's reservation because the woman was Asian? She has been ordered to pay $5,000 in damages and take a course in Asian American studies.

Airbnb host who canceled reservation using racist comment must pay $5,000

In February, Dyne Suh was en route to a ski vacation with friends in Big Bear, California, where she had reserved a cabin through Airbnb. But when she messaged the host, Tami Barker, to confirm the reservation, Barker abruptly refused to rent it to Suh. And she made her reasons pretty clear.

"I wouldn't rent it to u if u were the last person on earth," Barker texted. "One word says it all. Asian."

When Suh said she'd complain to Airbnb about the racist remark, Barker replied, "It's why we have Trump... and I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners."

What? You think Trump in the White House gets you a do-racist-shit-for-free card? Nope.

If you're going to be racist, you might as well be upfront about it. In Southern California, a woman who rented a cabin through Airbnb says the host abruptly canceled the reservation on her because she is Asian.

Dyne Suh was looking forward to spending Presidents Day weekend in Running Springs with her fiance and friends. She reserved a cabin through Airbnb, but when she texted the host to confirm the reservation (while on her way to the cabin), the host refused to rent it to Suh, and made it pretty clear why.

"I wouldn't rent it to u if u were the last person on earth," the host told Suh in a text message exchange." One word says it all. Asian." Indeed, one word really does say it all. Thanks for making your racism super obvious.
