The nonprofit organization conducted 50 tests of small landlords, management
companies and housing complexes in Jefferson and Orleans parishes between

how to navigate the system and encouraged them to follow through with the
application process, promising positive results, while discouraging black
applicants.

垃圾。我其实比较好奇另外那58%的人是什么情况，一视同仁还是有偏向黑垃圾的。
