Not a video, but AirBnB (maybe about two months ago) made EVERY host agree to not discriminate or their listings would be turned off.

I still think AirBnB is an awful company (hallway outside my apartment is currently trashed by an airbnb guest, the host doesn't care, airbnb won't get involved), but they are definitely aware of and addressing this.
