> You think people who want to rent out a mere room or two of their home

No, I don't. I think the majority of AirBnB rentals are the whole apartment/home, and it would be very simple to apply the rules I mentioned to just that type of listing. In NYC, where I'd imagine the percentage of shared/private rooms would be higher than other areas, 2/3 of rentals [1] are of the entire home variety. Discrimination based on protected classes is wrong in these instances. It's illegal for a landlord and it's illegal for a hotelier. Why shouldn't it be illegal for a short-term rental just because it uses the same platform that others use to rent out a room in their home?

So, does your diatribe still apply in the majority case or were you just talking about those less frequent rentals?

> It shows complete ignorance when you say discrimination based on a protected class is somehow automatically wrong.

And it shows complete ignorance on your part that you ignore the circumstances that constitute the majority of AirBnB rentals.
