> Appraisal industry faces onslaught of scrutiny over racial
bias against Black homeowners
>
> It didn’t sit well with Michael Tidwell when an appraisal
report he submitted for a large commercial property in a
predominantly Black neighborhood in Los Angeles was rejected by
a bank reviewer who insisted the lot was valued too high.
>
> Tidwell, a Black appraiser who is also a valuation and
advisory director at the global real estate services firm
Cushman & Wakefield, said it took months of back and forth, with
the issue getting escalated to the bank’s top brass, before they
ultimately agreed with his initial assessment.
>
> “The reviewer didn't respect the community because he felt
like, ‘Oh, it's a Black neighborhood. It's crime-ridden and
violence and all of that. There's no way this place is going to
be able to make money,’” he said. “It’s frustrating because even
when you do your job or you may know the value of the community,
somebody that's not from that community, a lot of times, they're
not going to see the value.”
>
> Tidwell is in a unique position on the inside of a tiny and
largely insular appraisal industry of 78,000 whose membership is
more than 85 percent white, with less than 2 percent of
appraisers identifying as Black.
>
> The appraisal industry continues to be criticized for racially
based bias against Black homeowners, like in the case of a Black
Indianapolis homeowner who after concealing her race received an
appraisal value of more than double that of two previous
appraisals where her race was known, according to the Fair
Housing Center of Central Indiana, a nonprofit that filed a
housing discrimination on the woman's behalf. The three
assessments were performed by different companies with the first
two coming in at $125,000 and $110,000 and the third coming in
at $259,000 after she had a white friend pose as her brother.
>
> But Black appraisers have also encountered difficulties
navigating similar issues from inside the industry. Many say
that while the valuation divide is symptomatic of a larger
racial issue, addressing challenges and barriers in a profession
with an apprenticeship model — which makes it difficult for
people of color to break in — may be one way to widen the
industry lens.
>
> Racially based appraisal bias is a well-documented and
pervasive issue that has long contributed to the widening wealth
gap for Black families, and much of it has been driven by
“historical racialized appraisals that influence contemporary
values and appraisers’ racialized assumptions about
neighborhoods to drive appraisal method,” according to a study
published in the journal Social Problems.
>
> The study found that from 1980 to 2015 homes in white
neighborhoods appreciated almost $200,000 more than comparable
homes in similar communities of color.
>
> A different study by the Brookings Institution in 2018 found
that in the average U.S. metropolitan area, “homes in
neighborhoods where the share of the population is 50 percent
Black are valued at roughly half the price as homes in
neighborhoods with no Black residents,” and that there is a
level of “implicit bias” in an individuals’ perception of
members of an oppressed class. The study also found that the
“value of assets — buildings, schools, leadership, and land
itself — are inextricably linked to the perceptions of Black
people.”
>
> It was around 70 years ago when the appraisal industry opened
up to African Americans, said Jacob Faber, a professor of
sociology and public service at New York University. So there is
a not-so-distant history of fairly explicit racial exclusion
that not just purposefully kept African Americans and other
people of color out of the appraisal industry, but also hampered
the ability of African Americans to own property.
>
> Since there are so few Black appraisers, it's not clear what
impact diversity would have on the industry, Faber said, but he
added that other research on the benefits of diversity in
institutions does suggest that it could help alleviate some of
the racial bias in individual appraisals even though there are
bigger structural problems with the way that homes are
appraised.
>
> The apprenticeship model blocks diverse applicants
>
> After sending out nearly a hundred résumés to potential
mentors who could provide her with the training hours required
to become a certified appraiser, Jillian White remembers one
response very clearly.
>
> A senior appraiser asked White, who is based in New York City,
to come to his office right away to interview after telling her
how impressed he was with her credentials. But his excitement
quickly faded as soon as he saw a Black woman, White said,
adding that she was not even allowed past the office’s threshold
by the appraiser who turned her away, saying she was
overqualified.
>
> “It’s been tricky. I feel caught in the middle when I hear
about appraisals coming in low for Black homeowners,” said
White, who is now the head of collateral for the digital
mortgage lender Better. “There are a multitude of different
factors that play into this, including a deeper history of how
we attach value to property in the first place, but there are
also very few outside voices in the appraisal industry that can
help re-examine opinions on property value.”

Just call it what it is: ethnic profiling. It is literally no
different than what the Karens do in the street, except these
ones are professional Karens!

phone at Walmart

> When Bryant asks the woman if he will get an apology when the
police arrive and find that he doesn’t have the phone, the woman
replies, “Sure.”
>
> Bryant begins to walk away, and the woman blocks his path,
demanding he stay put until the police arrive. He eventually
heads back inside the Walmart to speak to a store employee about
the situation.
>
> “I’m dealing with this woman’s irateness,” he tells a store
employee, “because her son can’t be responsible for a phone.
That’s not my fault. But being racially profiled? That’s gonna
be hers.”
>
> The woman’s son then walks in, holding his phone.
>
> “Her son found it in the car,” said Bryant. “Now, I’m gonna
press charges.” When he asked the woman again for her name, she
tells him to “go f**k himself.”
> ...
> “The fact that she is unable to be remorseful about the
situation is why this continues to happen because she felt she
is correct to falsely accuse someone of a crime. Even when the
evidence proves her wrong. This could have gone left a couple
different ways,” said one Twitter user.

> “This man gets harassed at Walmart for ‘existing while Black’,
and when the woman gets confronted by her own ignorance and
racial profiling, she tells the guy to ‘go eff yourself’, all
while withholding any apology,” wrote another.
>
> “Once again, our people are being subjected to unjust racial
profiling & harassment over a CELLPHONE! She didn’t even have
the common decency to apologize for her FALSE accusation! This
behavior is disgusting & incredibly dangerous!!” outspoken civil
rights lawyer Ben Crump wrote on Twitter.
> ...
> Internet sleuths zoomed in on the woman’s shirt which had the
name and logo of Kaiser Permanente, a healthcare organization in
California. She has reportedly since been identified as Liz de
