A: Hi, I would like to speak with someone in the Housing Department.
B: You have reached the right area. Can I help you with something?
A: I think that I may have experienced discrimination in trying to rent an apartment.
B: Can you be specific as to what type of discrimination?
A: I felt that he didn’t like me because I wasn’t the same race that he was.
B: How come you feel it was race that was the issue?
A: When I showed up on his doorstep, he seemed bothered by my appearance.
B: Is there anything else that made you feel he was using race as a factor in who he rented to?
A: As I walked through the apartment building all I saw were people who were the same race as the manager.
B: It is not easy to prove racial discrimination, but please go to our website which can help you file a formal complaint.
