I’m a black man – What happened when I booked an Airbnb
I am a black man, and I have dealt with this too.  Here is few hacks I came up with.<p>1. In your profile picture wear one or more of the following fedora, suspenders, thick rimmed glasses, and a bow tie.
2. Position a white or (more ideally) an Asian woman center frame, and position yourself behind her left-center.
3. Have some animals in the picture.  Cats are easy, ponies work best.<p>Try to add other things that make you less threatening, eg. babies and ice cream.
