For prospective renters, race matters... A lot.

[VerbalIntercourse]

i have a few friends that are lords and all of them have admitted to racial discrimination. Unpaid rent, noise and property damage are usually the reasons cited. *

I have a friend that rented to a korean Because ,"koreans are good people man!"

then he ended up having a little bit trouble with the Korean. He later reflected, "C'mon dude, Korean?! He must have been one of the few bad ones. you know?" My friend is an Indian (south asian) Male.

Landlords more willing to rent to asians: study

Landlords more willing to rent to asians: study

Looking to land a rental property? If your name is Kevin Li, you'll have a better chance at success than if it's Mark Anderson, Luis Garcia or Tyrone Johnson.

So suggests a new Journal of Applied Social Psychology study in which males with Asiansounding names saw more positive online responses from landlords than males with white, Hispanic or African-Americansounding names. Among women, white and Asian-sounding names opened the most doors, followed by Hispanic and African-American ones.

Among males, prospective tenants with Asian-looking names received the highest

proportion of positive responses, at 45.2 per cent. Hispanic and white-sounding names followed at 34.7 and 34.0 per cent, respectively, while the African-American name saw the least success, at 16 per cent.

16%... ouch.

Does Sylvester James Gates sound nikkarish to you?

 

[Serious]

Does Sylvester James Gates sound nikkarish to you?

depends on how you break it down. Can't recall any white people named Sylvester.

Gates in the black community is almost as prevalent, Johnson and Washington.

The only difference is there are actually white people with the last name Gates(Bill) as well, unlike Washington...

Most black landlords don't want to rent to black people
