Conversation with Wandile Mthiyane about aN Airbnb stay with a Racist Dog
LISTEN NOW
Wandile Mthiyane, the founder of Antiracist Hotdog, explains his racial harassment encounter with an Airbnb host and the disappointing way Airbnb has handled this situation. He is joined by his friend, Jillie Johnston, as they both share what the process was and how Airbnb's policies are inherently racist and need to be changed. We are asking for anyone who has connections to any major news stations, newspapers, journalists, lawyers, or higher-ups at Airbnb. We want Wandile to be fully reimbursed and compensated, yes, but more than that, we want to ensure policy change happens at Airbnb and other businesses like them to make it more inclusive, equitable, and safe for all guests. We want no one else to get hurt or suffer at the hands of these policies.
