Please restore ethnicity filter
I am Asian, and I would like to have the ethnicity filter option back. As a "minority", I don't think the filter option is racist. It offers me choices. Sometimes I want to search for Asians for example,, and if there is this option, it will make my search much easier to find.

Ethnicity Filter
Please bring the ethnicity filter back. Many people have "ideal types" and ethnicity is part of that "ideal type" that they are looking for. Some people are just attracted to certain ethnicities. I believe it will improve the search results for many Grindr users.
Better Account Banning/Suspension Process
I just had a suggestion of improvement for the Grindr app and I really think if the Grindr app considered this, it would help the app be much more pleasant and enjoyable by many Grindr users.
Grindr has been having a major issue with banning and suspending accounts. For quite a while, I have seen many blogs and forums of complaints about account bans and suspensions and there has been many people having a problem with their accounts being wrongfully banned or suspended and they have done nothing wrong. It seems that other Grindr users can report you wrongfully without you knowing what you did to offend them and they can make up false accusations about you to cause your account to be wrongfully banned or suspended for no valid reason and you haven't done anything wrong and haven't violated any of Grindr's community guidelines.
What I was suggesting as an improvement for the Grindr app, if a Grindr user that thinks you are harassing them, there should be an option on Grindr before you can report them, that says something like Warn User of Harassment (or whatever they are doing, spamming, etc.) so that they know to stop bothering that user. Then you have to accept the warning so the other person know that you were warned first about what you are doing and accepted the warning. Once you are warned first and then if you keep bothering that user after you are warned, then the user should be able to report you after you were warned first.
If you receive a warning from somebody about falsely harassing them and you have not done so, then there should be an option to dispute this warning with Grindr Support with proof such as a screenshot of your chat with the person to prove you are telling the truth and being honest so the warning can be cancelled against you.
I think this will help a lot of people to not be wrongfully banned from other people falsely reporting them for no good reason when they don't know why or that they are bothering that person.

Please bring back the ethnicity filter! It's not about racism but about preferences. Personally I'm turned on by Asian guys and it doesn't mean that I would feel any hate or negativity towards anyone else... It's simply my preference, that's it.
Besides also pls bring back the possibility to search for trans girls or couples.
It doesn't make any sense to pay for the service that doesn't really help finding the right partner and just wastes my time.

What is the big problem with allowing us to search for matches based on Ethnicity?!? It shows in our profiles, but for some unknown reason, we can’t actively refine our searches for a match based on that parameter. WHY NOT?!? This is EXTREMELY frustrating! We can search on age, height, weight, position, relationship status, even whether pics are included in their profile, and even whether they’re currently online. But if we particularly prefer Asian or black or White or Latino, etc… We can only HOPE that we HAPPEN to find what we’re looking for! 😡 We should be able to include Ethnicity in our search filters! What’s the problem with that?!?

Everyone has a "preference " regardless of what you (grindr) may think. Having the ethnicity filter allows people to search within their preference. We could complain and say that the body type filter is body shaming people. But I don't see you all changing that. Or that filtering by age is promoting agesim. But for some reason the ethnicity filter is racist? Lets review this and reinstate it.

I 100% agree that this filter needs to be reinstated. I understand how this can be taken advantage of, but at the end of day, we feel more comfortable with one of our or we simply just have preferences. This filter is not just used to “get rid” of an ethnicity. It used to be able to find people that we can share a common aspect in life. It’s about the connection. We should be able to use the filter, especially if we’re paying for a subscription where all of the profiles (we’re interested in) are missed because we have a bunch of other profiles that preventing it from appearing. This filter will allow for more profiles (the ones we can relate with) and actually not waste our time searching for them. This is enough—bring back the filter.
