Well in places like NYC the laws are strict regarding rental housing. Landlords need to establish consistent requirements then accept the first applicant that fits them. Typically they require the income to rent ratio is greater than three or something like that, which undoubtedly has a disparate effect when it comes to people of different races given how high the rents are and how incomes differ. Are you calling this incidental racism?
