There have been many studies that show that just having a name that "sounds" black will get you fewer options for places to live. Not opinion. Actual scientific studies.

First, this study is about short term rentals, not finding a place to live. It's about AirBNB. Secondly, the study says it doesn't matter if the renter was black or white. Both races were less likely to rent or call back black sounding names. So how is a black renter not calling back an applicant with a black sounding name an example of white privilege? Again, white privilege is a made up concept.
