That's not really my point. The point is that you can decry those rotten bums who engaged in steering or blockbusting or whatever, but you don't live in a racially mixed neighborhood today, and neither do I. So who are we to talk?
Some of us live in very diverse neighborhoods. DH and I are the only anglo's on the block.
And I can't pronounced half the names. But we would all get together for a meal and games once a month before covid. Now when the weather's good we meet outside.
We have hispanic, black, several Vietnamese families, Chinese and Japanese. Turkey, Pakistan and somewhere in the ME, IDK. If you live in Houston, that's pretty much the way it is. People don't care where you are from or who you are. Just as long as you can afford the house next door and cut the grass, everything's good.
The NAR is a private organization of people engaged in the buying and selling of private property. They are not a government organization. If they decide to adopt some policies that you don't like, too bad.
I think more people need to know what NAR is promoting now.
The National Association of Realtors should stick to real estate.

They are sticking to real estate. Assisting people buying and selling real estate - which is what they do - entails engaging with customers who want to buy and sell real estate. Since it is such an intensively customer-centric business endeavor, it is a wise thing for them to devise policies on how they deal with those customers. If they use language in those policies that you don't like, once again, too bad. Obviously they feel it's in their best interest to adopt those policies.
It is. Especially when one neighbor is simultaneously speaking to her sister on the phone in French, gets another call in Yiddish, talks to the grass guy in Spanish and me in English.
And she's not the only one. Another speaks her native language at home, then Spanish to her BF then interprets what he says to me in English.
The only problem some of have is one guy really wants to bring his Karaoke set up every time. I'm gonna sing hymns.

Giving people preferential treatment based on their skin color and promoting literature that targets people based on their skin color seem to fly in the face of the The Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
Only in the paranoid mind of the modern American right wing can policies explicitly stating, "Equity ensures everyone receives fair treatment and equal access to resources, opportunities, and success," can somehow be translated into meaning that everybody is out to get white people.
