It may not be racism, but it's certainly discrimination, in the sense that you are selecting who gets to conduct business with you based upon subjective criteria.

Whenever you

- book a flight,

- buy bread or milk, or

- get a girl friend

you discrimate in favor of one and against all others.

Subjective discrimination is the only way to choose, discrimination is the sure consequence of your every choice.

What you are talking about is as far away from AirBNB as selling call options on AAPL on NASDAQ is to selling an iPhone on craigslist.
