http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/05/weekinreview/05liptak.html Forgot to post about this a while ago: should Craigslist be held responsible for discriminatory ads? (“African Americans and Arabians tend to clash with me so that won’t work out” and so forth.) There’s lots of excellent edge cases here: can you post ads exclusively in foreign languages, for example? Or say “Chinese speakers preferred”? There was a fascinating case a few years ago concerning an apartment building the owner had decided to call Korean World Towers because (or so the argument went) he preferred Korean tenants. He wasn’t Korean himself, and didn’t actively discriminate against non-Koreans—so, the question was, did putting Korean in your building name amount to discrimination? 21:15
