Yes. Sometimes I'm in a new town and prefer to meet up with people of simular ethnic background. There-s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes its easier to talk to sumilar people.

Disagree. It creates a toxic environment - Gr has got better since they got rid of it. I am of South Asian origin and I can definitely say on balance it is better this way. The benefit to find other people of similar ethnicity was marginal and not used by everyone, but the harmful effect of the filter is harmful to every single ethnic minority person. For the greater good let's not bring this toxicity back.

I agree. It helps minorities

Who cares that's what the pics are for.

Yes please

The comments on here are the reason I quit Grindr. Pseudo intellectual opinions disguised as wisdom.
Removing ethnicity as an option actually discriminates against those that like to date OUT of our own race! Why? Because you have to pay extra to scroll through the dozens of milquetoast profiles of average men. What race is the majority in my town? WHITES. So have to swipe thru and block each profile so that I don't have to see them again.
If you don't give customers natural choices, someone else will make a better app or find it's better way.
Grindr is full of strange opinionated misanthropes who think they're taking a stand but are just compensating for their failure to make connections, it seems.
You're ridiculous!

It doesn't make me racist for wanting the ethnic filter. I'm biracial and prefer to date black or biracial men.
I'm tired of being forced to see dozens of mediocre white men in this town. If I have a free account, I have to pay a premium to get to see more men of my preference.
So I'll continue to block all the white boy accounts I see.
Also, I have friends who are only into interracial. They feel the same way. Many black men want to search for white men or Asian men only to be stuck in the same asinine hell that some fool thought was an enlightened decision.

The ultra left wing comments assuming that I'm racist just proves how hypocritical these self righteous asshats are.
Get a frigging life!

650+ ETHNIC GROUPS & GROWING.
LETS BE REAL VOTERS.

The world we live in today ?
Wifi is Religion / S.Media is Culture / Vibe(s) are our Race / language are coded / & the heart is a place of origin instead. I understand the want* (not a need) for this, & frankly, i did* (no longer) but ive realised the need to end a primitive selection to desire ETHNICITY. We sustain this toxic conditioning for "selection" as we've been heavily groomed, for decades !

I vote NO to ethnic filter & YES (only) for data capture & display // those looking to identify their ethnic group ? Check their profile bio. , sorted. Cheers

Agreed!!! If black people are so sensitive and ashamed to be black then get rid of all the ethnic categories all together. It’s such stupid thinking, a lack of intelligence to think that what turns me on makes me a or anyone a racist. I can say if I like skinny or Twink but I can’t say I want white or black. How is that different

and FYI, race is not a "mood".

Why, so you can continue with your racism? Does brown hurt your eyes?

Have a “type in” option for ethnicity, multiple ethnicities are missing, would be nice to add them in the options or allow to type in.

While this discussion is about racism for some (and there isn't a doubt in my mind that there would be people using an ethnicity filter because they don't like people of one skin tone or another), I personally look at it like this...some nights I want to top, some nights I want to bottom. Some nights I feel like a dad bod, some nights a twink, etc. Some nights I specifically want a black, Hispanic, Asian, or (dare I say it?) white guy. It would be nice to be able to look at only what I'm in the mood for, and as the night goes on I'll slowly start removing filters like everyone else. 🤣

I agree. Many other sites like this have an ethnicity filter

…it’s not always “white person that hates black people”. That is so very narrow-minded, but what can I expect here? I see plenty of profiles from PoCs that boldly state “black men only” or “no white men”. But I guess that isn’t racism, right? SMFH

of course sexual attraction is not racist but if you think that racism isn't a big part of some people's choices for whom they date, you are very naive. do you really think a white racist who hates blacks is going to seek out a black person to date? racism is alive and well and can play a part in some people's choices for intimacy. I'm available or does my skin color really matter that much to you. if it does, you can always turn out the lights! ha ha.

Your obvious disdain for folks trying to make the world better for everyone not just white guys is ironic. The woke political types are the reason you have any rights at all. I don't see such a big deal about the filter either way but the ones really complaining are the type that puts NO BLACKS just my preference in their profiles

There are so many men here who bash me as tho this isn’t an app for gays like it’s a boys toilet room. If I’m not your type reporting my page doesn’t make me go away. Im a female with an advanced sexual appetite and Men on Grindr tend to like that. Also I’m a SWITCH… however men find I have only one type and I don’t go outside my preference.
