Financial hurdles seek to qualify Ants and disqualify Grasshoppers. This has nothing to do with race, but every financial hurdle will seem to have disparate impact on different racial groups, depending on how exponents of those groups have expressed Ant or Grasshopper values over time.<\/p>\n

That cannot possibly be Redfin’s fault. But Redfin and every brokerage that has transaction minimums \u2013 including all of the major iBuyers \u2013 will be devoured by race pirates until<\/em> they are willing to explain how Ants get ahead in the world.<\/p>\n
