Fair Housing PSA

You liked the apartment, but the landlord didn't like you. Make sure you weren't turned down for that special place because of your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial status. Check out this creative PSA to learn more about the Fair Housing Act, and what to do if you think you've encountered housing discrimination.

Wow, isn't it great that they do that so that people don't have to deal with landlords like you?

AMEN!

Gram Wellington, sadly could not move into the apartment because as soon as he mentioned his husband, it was occupied.

it is very racist not only against white people but against the stereotypical ways they have portrayed each ethnicity.

Wake up and see this for what it is. If it were against any other race instead of using a white person all you that think it is so wonderful would be outraged and ranting for it to be taken down.

It is called a double standard and only a racist would think otherwise.

@thescubageek THIS IS NOT A RACIST PSA! It's just trying to show that housing discrimination happens and that it is illegal, if you didn't catch it there was also an older gentleman in a wheelchair who was discriminated against. Housing discrimination happens to all races, genders, nationalities, religion etc, people who are disable. A Black agent could be racist against a Hispanic or a Muslim agent could be racist against a Christian. The POINT of this PSA is to inform on reality.

this commercial is the most racist piece of work I have seen. BTW to all you simpletons that think he is really calling a real landlord for pete sake grow a brain!

So he goes through every ethnicity the racist pigs that wrote this could think of with the stereotypical slang and voicing they could muster and of course the supposed landlord is portrayed as whitey and the only one whitey lady wants is the whitey guy with the name of all things "Graham Wellington" WHATEVER!! Racist pigs.

Who the hell is renting apartments? Just rich white guys? There are plenty of black, Mexican, Chinese, natives renting apartments without difficulty. If you can't pay the rent, that's another problem. Yes we're all a bunch of racists. We're such a racist society, Oprah WInfrey is the highest paid entertainer on television and we elected a black president. This country has got racists under every rock according to the government. Baloney.

@ycdtotv2001 How can a voice be stereotyped? The purpose of this commercial is him playing private detective to make sure these landlords are letting all qualified applicants (pass credit check, background check) in. The may not have a person for example that is Middle Eastern in their town, so he has to pretend he is Middle Eastern. It is not against the law to pretend to be someone of another racial/ethnic group. It is cheaper for the fed to hire this guy than 12 more people.

Great so now Whites can be homeless now... >.> Fucking horseshit commercial.

lazy motherfuckers love playing the race card to the ground and blaming other people

I am blind, and have dealt with discrimination. I've been denied from boarding rides at county and state fairs because the operators thought I couldn't mount and dismount the ride, and had no muscle control. Now how insane is that? Plus, i tried to rent a room in one private house, and I was turned down because the house had stairs. For goodness sakes! I can walk. I just can't see!
