Thesis: Racism is defined as any class or group of people seen as inferior to another group of people. Racism is widespread throughout the hospitality industry. I’m focusing on the segment of Airbnb in hospitality. Racism is alive and well in this area.  It has been proven that many guest who are African American have been discriminated against based on race or names that sound ethnic.I intend to try to come up with viable solutions to deal with this issue.
