    Racist AirBnB host cancels Asian woman's booking, gets fined
  • Tami Barker, an AirBnB host in California who discriminated against an Asian guest, has received a $5,000 fine and told to attend an Asian-American studies course.

    Barker had cancelled a booking by Dyne Suh, saying: "One word says it all. Asian."

    The punishment was imposed by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), in an agreement with AirBnB.

  • The DFEH said Barker had cancelled Suh's booking just before she was scheduled to arrive at the listing in Big Bear, California.

    "I wouldn't rent it to u if u were the last person on earth," Barker told Suh in a message.

    "I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners" and "It's why we have [President Donald] Trump."

  • Suh made a recording just after Barker cancelled her stay in which she gave an emotional account of the incident.

    "It stings that after living in the US for over 23 years, this is what happens," Suh said.

    "No matter how well I treat others, it doesn't matter. If you're Asian, you're less than human. People can treat you like trash."

  • After the incident, Suh complained to the DFEH, the department that works with AirBnB to address cases of discrimination against guests.

    Suh's case marks the first time that DFEH and AirBnB collectively punished a host.

    However, such an arrangement is only active in the AirBnB's home state of California, where regulators have clamped down on issues arising from the company's growth.
