The caveat to the nondiscrimination policy:
In other words -- where the nondiscrimination policy is most needed, that's exactly where Airbnb will not apply it.
And yet.....I think many hosts would reply that one need not necesssarily go to a "foreign country" to find a "truly hideous, homophobic, woman-hating culture"!!

The caveat to the nondiscrimination policy:
The only snag is that no one in any foreign country with a truly hideous homophobic, woman-hating culture will be forced to host anyone from any ‘protected class’. Because Airbnb has thought of that, and has a get-out clause for oppressive regimes everywhere, saying in the weasel small print that it ‘does not require hosts to violate local laws’.
