Is that kind of thing allowed in America? I think you'd get pulled up on the race relations act of 1976 pretty damned quickly over here in the 'ole U of K :p

there is the equal housing act in usa, but i think that only rental agencies, housing developments and the like have to abide by it, individuals can really do whatever they want, but yeah thats still messed up.

kender, was that really printed? Was it in a newspaper and which one was it just out of curiosity? I can't believe that anyone accepted that ad as-is to print.
