Cancelling membership. I would suggest cancelling yours as well if they want to continue with their course of action.

This is a hookup app, not a frickin political platform!!
The filter is just a script to make search easier, its not giving more rights or taking any rights from anyone!
If the filter is not back by my next subscription renewal notice, am cancelling my membership. We should all stand united on this , maybe grindr would ultimately listen.

Do not bring back the racist race filter. Enough with the extreme right wing unwoke people.

I am a white man who likes Asian and Hispanic men, sexually. I have friends of all races. Who I am attracted to sexually is what it is. When Grindr removed the ethnicity filter, it confused sexual preferences with racism. I am not racist but I have sexual preferences. And, in fact, grindr made it worse as I cannot now look for Asian and Hispanic men specifically. Please bring back the ethnicity filter with a strong message that racism is not tolerated on Grindr.

In Early Modern English and until the mid-19th century, ethnic was used to mean heathen or pagan

Ethnicity option is not Used in Europe and it's not really used here as you have just read and if you wanted to break it down to separate the ethic groups there would have to be a lot more boxes to check And the separate the races into whatever ethnic groups they are in.
So Grindr just remove Ethnicity and replace with what most ask in the check box because when you start separating within ethnicity then you will have to have a race box with The ethnicity box.
AGAIN PEOPLE ETHNICITY IS NOT RACE.

Oh my goodness does anyone know The meaning of and differences between the two Ethnicity and Race.Europe has a large number of ethnic groups; Pan and Pfeil (2004) count 87 distinct "peoples of Europe", of which 33 form the majority population in at least one sovereign state, while the remaining 54 constitute ethnic minorities within every state they inhabit.A number of European countries, including France[79] and Switzerland, do not collect information on the ethnicity of their resident population.The indigenous people in North America are Native Americans. During European colonization, Europeans arrived in North America. Native Americans died due to Spanish diseases and other European diseases such as smallpox during the European colonization of the Americas. The largest ethnic group in the United States is White Americans. Hispanic and Latino Americans (Mexican Americans in particular) and Asian Americans have immigrated to the United States recently. In Mexico, most Mexicans are mestizo, a mixture of Spanish and Native American ancestry.[citation needed]

African slaves were brought to North America from the 16th to 19th centuries. In the United States, their descendants are called African Americans.

Well I don't think you know the difference between Ethnicity and Race. The largest ethnic group in the United States is White Americans.Hispanic and Latino Americans (Mexican Americans in particular) and Asian Americans have immigrated to the United States recently. African slaves were brought to North America from the 16th to 19th centuries. In the United States, their descendants are called African Americans.

i am asian too and have lived through when it was on and live through it now, it is better without. You may not be racist, others may be inclined to be.

Bring it back. It's ridiculous that Grindr will merrily let their app be full of crystal meth dealers that kill our community but apparently searching on ethnicity is so evil that it has to be removed from the app.

It's cringey and it's like someone used the gaise of racism which in face it is very racist. People want to look up asain men or Latinos or this or find lost connection you should be proud of your heritage not say oh racism exist so let's treat everyone as if they are. It's awful to assume also so was is racist because they don't have attraction to one race or more then another your not forcing them It's controlling habits It's yuckins.

I’m a black guy on Grindr and not only does this annoy me to the extreme but it also hurts that when I message guys that are outside my race (white/caucasian) friendly hellos & or compliments, I RARELY ever get responses from them and it always leads me to thinking otherwise. Not calling the app or anyone on it racist, but there’s no other explanation for it when this continues to keep happening. I get we all have our “preferences” and such, but if there is a certain race you’re attracted to it should be made KNOWN in description or at least in a filter instead of posing as someone you’re not and blatantly ignoring/blocking others for no specified reason. Not only is it rude it’s very indecent. Please make Grindr a BETTER place for all people of color to feel accepted and respected.

It's relevant to me. Black men are my only interested group!

Please restore ethnicity filter

Please restore ethnicity filter

Grindr is not going to change anything. Think about it... fewer filters means there is a higher number of "non-matching" profiles on your grid. That means you are SPENDING MORE TIME on the app sifting through non-matching profiles = more money from advertisers + higher incentive for users to upgrade to a more expensive plan for a larger grid. You think Grindr is ever going to bring back filters and give up these new profits? Fat chance! You've all been duped in the name of social justice while Grindr rakes in the profits AND woke points. Remember, Grindr is in business to make money, not to make you feel better about yourselves or make the app more efficient! Next to go will be the age/height/weight filters because those are "discriminatory" as well.

Can we get a turn around time on this issue being resolved from Grindr Administrators or was this platform just put up to placate complainants?

Bring back the filter. We are attracted to what we are attracted to. It doesn't mean we are racist if we don't want to connect with every race. Enough with the extreme left wing woke people.

1. dupe
2. terrible comment below (who's surprised it's anonymous?)

Simple, it's a choice as is body type, age or other preferences..nothing discriminatory.
