Now, how to write this AirBnB review about how the White Sheriff came to confirm that you as a Brown Muslim were actually not breaking in because the owner forgot to turn the alarm off is NOT an ideal stay.
Is there a BIPOC AirBnB yet?
I wrote, "if you are not a BIPOC ACAB maybe you will enjoy it here more than us."
She said she is Italian and it seems like she was not happy with my review.
She said, "I can assure you it is a safe community as "country" as the locals may seem."
And I don't know if I should respond that having a White Sheriff ask you for proof of belong in a house where the alarm was triggered doesn't make a Brown person feel safe. ARE YOU KIDDING?
She also said " I have also had many guest that are POC, including friends of mine and they really enjoyed the area and their stay. I do apologize that you felt uncomfortable in the area."
I have responded to her response with this article of the black women who were leaving their Airbnb and had 7 cop cars roll up on them when checking out: theroot.com/blackwhileairb…
Is this what they mean when they use the word "escalation"?
She said "I gave you a credit, did you see it" and it was only a $50 credit!
I keep getting more and more angry the more I tweet about it.
!!! AirBnB just took down my review saying there wasn't enough relevant information in the review! I'm sorry, I think it is important to know if the Sheriff will come to your door when looking at a listing???
How dare you tell this writer that my writing is not relevant! I am so insulted. Sure, it might have been passive aggressive and sarcastic but it was RELEVANT.
Well, I don't want my time I spent writing the review go to waste, so I'll share it here. Do tell, AITA & irrelevant?

It's like the writers of #Grownish didn't even talk to a Desi to write this scene where Vivek reveals to his Indian parents that he's a drug dealer and expelled. There is NOT enough hysterics and yelling here. The mother HUGGED him? Thapur, sandal to the head. Come on!
Not one South Asian name on the IMDB for this episode too. SMH
I 👏 will 👏 watch 👏 every 👏 single 👏 Desi 👏 character 👏 in 👏 American 👏 entertainment 👏 and 👏 critique 👏 them 👏 at 👏 high 👏 Desi 👏 standards👏 cuz 👏 we 👏 deserve👏 better, 👏 realistic 👏 storylines.
My dad's friend died of COVID-19 today in So Cal - the Muslim graveyards are so backed up, there is a two week wait. They can only bury 4 graves a day. Muslim burials are supposed to be asap, 48 hours usually. There is not enough room & time for the burials of all the dead.
Muslims are also supposed to partake in a last wash - ghusl - before you are buried. You are being washed/blessed for the afterlife. People that dying from COVID-19 are not getting ghusl. Ten people max at burials. All the end of life prayers and rituals are truncated.
STAY THE FUCK HOME AND WEAR A GOD DAMN MASK IF YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME.
