An exercise none of them will have the courage to sincerely perform is this. If the neighbor had sicked the cops on white AirBnB guests, they’d be labeled paranoid and blamed for wasting police resources, and those who would defend the neighbor and host in this case would instead condemn their behavior.
If the roles had been reversed, with white guests and POC host and neighbor, provided the not-at-all-certainty that the cops didn’t arrest or shoot the neighbor instead, the people defending the neighbor and host in the case would instead excoriate them.
