Here's something that hosts want to avoid doing:
THis host rejected a guest because of the guest's nationality. This is something that could get a host expelled from Airbnb, when the host states this openly, so be careful not to do something like this:

"An Israeli man said that a British Airbnb host refused to rent an apartment to him because, the host said, Israelis don’t respect “basic human rights.”
Ben Kelmer, a Tel Aviv photographer, reserved a London apartment for a week in March through the online company, which has come under fire recently for listing properties in West Bank settlements. In some cases, the listings indicate that the properties are in Israel proper.
When Kelmer contacted the host with a question about public transport, the host said he could not “even consider hosting you,” the UK’s Jewish News reported.
“This is how the world pictures you: aggressive settlers occupying land, destroying houses. In a few words: not respecting basic human rights,” the message said. “On that basis, I just cannot even consider hosting you, even if you pay me millions...The company posted a reply saying it would investigate the matter..”
