In the end, more than money, it has been shown that it was a matter of surname and ethnic origin different from the hegemonic ones. This case is a textbook example of real estate racism, a sum of discriminatory practices that go far beyond individual behavior and that flow above all through laws and intermediaries who channel racialized people—foreigners but also Roma—towards housing of worse conditions.</p>]]></description>
