I'm no lawyer but I assume if the landlord faced legal issues he could say he was "just joking" about the the word European and anyone was free to move in and God Bless America Oh Canada and yada yada yada.
[Edit: I didn't realize it's a Vancouver listing.]
I imagine that since it's only "prefer" there isn't technically discrimination, since non-whites are not strictly prohibited from applying and can even end up getting the lease.
If you apply as a PoC and get turned down, it would probably be very easy to sue the landleech. although this is so blatant that i'm actually wondering if they want to entice people into arson to cash in on the insurance.
Oh I absolutely think you would lose this case if it was brought to court. I mostly thought about the argument that the leech would put forward if he had a competent attorney, since I've seen some pretty unlikely cases succeed back when i worked for a small lawfirm.
Isn't that like literally illegal? Like race is a protected class for housing?

They’d just pull trump move of countersuing for defamation and then exhausting the person’s legal resources.

Entice people into suing so SCOTUS can overturn Fair Housing and anti-discrimination laws next.
