Airbnb Removes Listing Over Offensive Decor
News summary

A TikTok video by Erica W., known as @tasteofmelanin, went viral after she shared disturbing decor in an Airbnb rental that featured racially insensitive items, including cotton plants and plush monkey toys. The decor, which many viewers compared to the horror film 'Get Out', was criticized for trivializing the historical injustices faced by Black Americans. Following the backlash, Erica reported the listing to Airbnb, which promptly removed it from their platform. Comments from viewers expressed disbelief over the intentional nature of the decor, with many urging her to leave the rental immediately. In a related development, a seaside development in Folkestone has reversed a previous ban on Airbnb rentals, citing demand from tourists despite earlier commitments to restrict short-term rentals. The situation highlights ongoing discussions about Airbnb's responsibility in managing potentially offensive listings.
