I agree and if the government was attempting to pass a law mandating this I would support you

But if AirBNB want to have a racism free site where only non-racists homeowners are allowed to post listing then it is perfectly with in the right to do so and I support AirBNB in banning any racist persons they find trying to use their site.

No one has a right to a AirBNB listing, and just as the homeowers can refuse service to anyone, so can airbnb

The government already passed the law mandating this, way back in 1968: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Housing_Act

Yes, it applies to Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/898/ada-and-fha-complian...
