Is this a psyop?

The immediate step to racial discrimination here is obvious.
If you dont use one of the three acceptable white seasonings, your food is too stinky and you cant live here. sorry too bad.
Reading one paragraph in they say it’s bc the owner is vegan and lives in the building and doesn’t want to smell it. I guess that’s just capitalism idk if there’s anything more to it than that with that rule specifically
Theres probably an innocent (for a liberal) sounding explanation, but there's also a long and storied tradition of specifically South Asians being discriminated against because their cooking is "smelly" to white people. Supposedly a bunch of motels and AirBnBs have special rooms for South Asians because whites believe that if south asians cook in their room, the room will smell forever.
Would that not also apply to the vegetarian food south asians make? Is it the meat that would make it "smelly" bc I don't really see it ow. Does the average racist
know whether a person they're being racist to is cooking vegetarian or not.If they were using it as a gatcha to kick out any tenant who made food they didn't like the smell of, that would be a terrible clause bc their rich (can afford 60k a year apt) tenant could sue them for I assume a lot if they could simply prove they were cooking vegetarian/vegan at the time the landlord neighbor noted a violation. And if they were using cooking meat as a category to discriminate renters I think it's just way too far reaching to say they are discriminating against any singular group bc an overwhelming majority of people cook meat only like 10% being vegetarian/vegan.
I don't think this is comparible to a "no pitbulls" rule in being more or less racism, especially since it only bans the cooking and not the eating of meat, if it banned the eating too it might be less of a stretch and unless this building has a poor door it's only housing very rich people and they can easily find somewhere else to live
And from a Gallup poll
Nonwhite Americans (9%) are three times as likely as white Americans (3%) to describe themselves as vegetarian.

There probably is a perception that vegetarians/vegans in the US are more likely to be white for some people, but that clearly isn't true, although I won't say for sure these weird landlords don't think that, bc I have no idea anything about them past this article
I was going to say, this sounds like a clear-cut case of racism and/or xenophobia. Let's get some immigrants to try to move in and then sue the living shit out of her.
A landlord living in the building they lord over feels like it just instantly creates the biggest freaks imaginable.
Imagine having decisive power over your neighbors, that’s gotta fuck you up so bad
They suck because they’re landlords - not for any other reason. They’re doing what landlords do, creating obtuse rules and overcharging on rent.
$5000 apartment and the landlord gets to tell me what to do? Lol. I rather skin him alive and cook it
Actually yes. Like most news about any financial asset or "the economy".
Housing prices are pegged to numerous financial assets as a result they can afford more vacancies. This kind of shit has to be window dressing on some level, or a result of that
Buddy at least wait for anyone to actually say what you are expecting them to say.
It literally just is anti-veganism if you start making up shit that no one has said just to imply shit about vegans.
The Hexbear vegans are a small price to pay for the fact that they are the single most effective vanguard against libs and chuds showing up here. I feel about our vegans the same way that other people here feel about the pronouns next to usernames.
