If the Leftists (statists) get their way or if the owner is a statists then yes that's where things are headed. The American Left is taking us back to the 30's again and the rise of the Nazis.

I'd agree but the problem as I see it is that most people will only agree with this because it fits into their personal beliefs. Any business should be able to deny service to anyone for any reason.

Different situation. They are cancelling memberships in a private club.

If they really believe this is a white pride event rather than a right wing political event, then it is racist to deny them. Just as it would be for a left wing event attended by BLM members, and characterized as a black pride event.

So... people who hate blacks are going to book rooms at some black person's house and...? Did you think Get Out was a documentary?

All white pride events are categorized as "white supremacist" and put in a special category of evil where the normal rules don't apply. AirBNB would not deny service to people attending any similar rally for non-whites.

how does an online business know about your offline actions??

If you don't want them to know, don't post it online.

It is a free speech rally. The leftist media call it white supremacist in an effort to shut down free speech.

Another interesting example of a company denying service to people involved in an event the business owners disapprove of. I'm not sure how AirBNB is structured as a company, how many owners, etc.
I wonder if the affected customers will sue.
It's illegal race discrimination.
