<p>About a month ago, a guy named, Gregory Selden, took to Twitter to let people know that he was being discriminated against while he was shopping on AirBnB , and now the 25-year-old has decided<br />
to take legal action on the issue.</p>
<p>Here is what happened: Selden, who is African-American, decided to request a booking from his own personal profile and was denied. Selden peeped something fishy and that&#8217;s when he decided to create a<br />
fake profile with a fake picture and request the booking again. Selden got the booking he wanted.</p>
<p>According Love B. Scott, the housing service has received a class action lawsuit and its being reported that Selden actually reached out to AirBnB, but he felt &#8220;ignored&#8221;.</p>
<p>Seldon actually proceeded to question the host, CNN Money reports, When Selden questioned the host, he received this response: “It’s a disappointment people like you always victimize yourselves solely on<br />
the basis of skin color.&#8221;</p>
<p>A hashtag of #AirBnBWhileBlack was stated and it sparked a dialogue between amongst the users of Twitter.</p>
<p>Ever since then, AirBnB has released a statement about the current allegations, &#8220;While we do not comment on pending litigation, we strongly believe that racial discrimination is unacceptable and it<br />
flies in the face of our mission to bring people together,” said, Airbnb spokesman Nick Papas.</p>
