The issue of racism and discrimination on Airbnb came into the spotlight recently with the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack, which people used to share their own experiences of discrimination while booking accommodations. The issue has also prompted the launch of two competing services: Noirbnb and Noirebnb, both of which are meant to offer a more inclusive experience.
In the keynote on Wednesday, Airbnb’s VP of Engineering Mike Curtis acknowledged the challenge of combatting racism and discrimination.
“We do face the challenge of racial discrimination, we do face the challenge of unconscious bias.”
“We do face the challenge of racial discrimination, we do face the challenge of unconscious bias,” Curtis said. “We are committed to battling this with every tool at our disposal and with zero tolerance.”
Curtis’ remarks were followed by a panel on diversity and inclusion, lead by Airbnb’s Director of Diversity and Belonging David King. Though King didn't elaborate on specific changes Airbnb may make, he outlined some of the steps already in the works, including unconscious bias training for hosts, improved customer service and better machine learning and other technological improvements.

“Airbnb leaders from every corner of the organization are a part of this conversation,” King said.
