1. An article this week reported that white males get higher home appraisals than women ...

... but I had another member here argue with me all day yesterday that while banks are racist, bankers are never racist.

2. How can that possibly be legal?

I can't watch too many of this kind of video. It just infuriates me.

3. I'm a white man, and I'm available. Let's do this.

4. I almost posted something along those lines earlier

but was worried with my low post count that I'd get roasted.

I don't see my fees being any higher than a home inspection - and the rewards to the home seller could be significant.

With my (rapidly) graying hair and Grill Sergeant Life is Good t-shirt, I could lend a certain gravitas to racist asshats who would purposely lowball the value of a house because its owner is a minority.

5. Excellent work Egberto. This is the kind of systemic racist shit that needs to be brought out

front and center so people can clearly see how it works and how insidious it is.

7. This has been posted multiple times.

Here and everywhere.

6. Like this is at all surprising

A black man might have gotten a better appraisal, also.

Good for her for hiring the white guy to get the best one.
