I'm sure that if AirBnB lays out an impartial, data driven argument, racists will realize the error of their ways.

... Right.

Also, note that health insurer discrimination is the exception, rather then the norm (And it surprises me that it is even legal).

I don't think the point is to convert racists as much as it is to prove to non-racists that the general actuarial tables don't apply specifically to AirBnB's renters.
