Sorry, but in this case it's not.  If you are looking for a roommate, you can
be as specific as you like (ads for vegetarian, Nepalese, Jewish quadroplegics
are legal, for instance, although you might be hard pressed to actually find a
roommate).  If you are renting a vacant house or apartment, then
discrimination of all kinds is illegal.  From reading the note, it sounds like
the person is looking for a roommate, not trying to rent a vacant house,
although the original posting is a bit vague.
