I find your ad in the thrifty nickel offensive and racially biased againtst whites. Stateing that “no where on a rental application does it say , you must be white. I am white and i get discriminated against plenty thank you. With out your stereo type casting that all whites received no discrimination is down right insulting. You specifically are calling out the white race as being racist. I challenge your wording as being racist against whites and would ask you to remove your ad and replace the wording differently without singleing out one race against another.
Thank You Very Much

The advertisement states: “Nowhere on a rental application does it say you must be a white man with no kids and no disabilities.” Meaning, if you fall within one of the protected categories under fair housing laws, you should not be denied housing because of your skin color, your sex, whether you have children, or whether you have a disability. If you believe you have been denied housing based on your race, please contact ATC. A counselor can discuss your options and remedies under the Fair Housing Act.
Please visit HUD’s website for statistics on fair housing complaints. This advertisement was part of a national campaign developed by the National Fair Housing Alliance and was approved for publication by HUD.
