Participant[quote=jpinpb][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Jp: If Penelope Cruz AND Halle Berry showed up to rent my place, I’d PAY THEM to live there![/quote]
LOL. You know what I mean. There’s more to race here. Not just attractive women. If someone clean-cut that looked like Will Smith that worked at a stock brokerage company wanted to rent a room, you wouldn’t b/c of his race?
Too many factors to consider.[/quote]
I don’t like agreeing with either of you but I do.
I think JP makes my point rather well in that if you someone appears gainfully employed and together (and, of course, passes all the various pre-quals) ethnic/racial origin really does not make a relevant consideration.
I think Allan makes a good point in that race is often a shorthand for class.
I think that is the real prejudice.
Its just that Americans don’t believe in class and do believe in race.
As a white broker, I know I am just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
Though, sometimes “temporarily” feels more like “chronically”.August 23, 2011 at 2:36 PM #723268Participant[quote=jpinpb][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Jp: If Penelope Cruz AND Halle Berry showed up to rent my place, I’d PAY THEM to live there![/quote]

I would never rent to a stock broker.

ParticipantOMG – come on, people. You know what I mean. Someone w/a good job. So Arraya discriminates against stockbrokers. LOL. Everyone has a particular thing that rubs them the wrong way. If someone worked part time at, say, The Gap or someone worked full time, say, at an engineering company, you’d pick someone w/the better job, regardless of race. Well, I would. Maybe others are just really stuck on race. For me there are way too many factors that I would consider and choose the best candidate.
