I'm gay and Asian in Michigan. Please restore this filter! Nevermind.

After 12 months of this insanity — and of putting up with worse racism as a result of the filter being removed — can you folks at grindr get down off your high horses, admit you made a mistake and restore this functionality please. You’re literally making a bad problem worse

This is just insane regressive left actions. The conflation of dating/sexual preferences with race. Everything now is to do with race. If you smile at a person of color it's racist. Don't smile and it's racist. Give them a compliment and that's racist. Don't compliment them and that's racist too.

An ethnicity filter is about letting people connect with the people they want to fuck. And let's be honest here, 90% of guys on Grindr are there to fuck. If a black guy only wants to fuck another black guy, is that racist?!? Of course not. It's a sexual preference. Just like I don't want to fuck women -- does that make me sexist?

Completely agree

When you have personal preference, it matters the circle you choose to be with. Ethnicities have nothing to do with race, its about cultural differences. Dating apps wont help us much when matching us with the people we won’t go far with. Please bring back the Ethnicity Filter.

Enough with this wokeness. Bring back the race/ethnicity filter. I want to be able to choose who I want to see and meet.

Okay somehow this has turned into idiotic politics. Left or right doesn't determine if you're racist or not. People really should learn what left and right means in politics before trying to use it.

As for the filter protecting or attacking anyone whether it exists or not, it does neither. Having the filter removed didn't "protect" against racism.. it literally made it worse. Having it wasn't racist either since all it did was allow people to find what they're attracted to.

The people saying the filter should exist so races can find their own race is just idiotic and racist.. the majority of people want the filter so they can only see who they are attracted to. I'm a white male that is particularly attracted to asian males. That's not racist it's just my sexual preference. They don't HAVE to be asian, but that's what I'm most attracted to. There's black people attracted to white people, asians attracted to black people, and so on. None of that is racist. It's not even racist to filter people out based on race. I'm not hating black people by not wanting to see them on dating app. The people that see it as racist are racist themselves and trying to project their racism onto others to look more high and mighty.

Basically having the filter wasn't racist. Removing it however was racist since it's trying to force everyone to love everyone. Like you're not allowed to have a choice anymore because *choice* is somehow racist.

@Anonymous I think you meant #racistgays. If you're right wing, you're racist. No. Ifs ands or buts about it
"This is what happens when go along with cancel culture and the left. #rightwinggays"

"This is what happens when go along with cancel culture and the left"
<------ EXACTLY! And the irony is that it ends up being totally counterproductive. They "think" they are doing the right & noble thing by removing the ethnicity filter, when it actual fact it's to the detriment of the people they think are protecting. Because those minorities are sooooo weak and easily offended and can't stand up for themselves so big Grindr needs to come along and be the saviour for them.

Did anybody notice that while ethnicity filter was removed - as means to fight racism - ethnicity from profile stats was not. I find it very... racist.

This is what happens when go along with cancel culture and the left. #rightwinggays

Pleaseee it's nonsense you took it. It's difficult to find the guys am attracted too because of this!! Minorities are the affected ones

I invite everyone to vote for my post here as i think it will make the biggest change to grindr

@Wh, you say "Before the filter was removed, I never had to block perfectly harmless strangers proactively just because I wasn't interested." <---- I agree 100%. It's so ridiculous that Grindr think they were doing the woke thing by removing filters, but it's counterproductive: it leads to people actually finding out they're not others types, makes minorities even more isolated (they can't quickly find others like them), and it simply refuses to accept people have sexual tastes that simply cannot be equated to the stupid woke mantra of "everything is racist".

Bring filters back for every part of the profile, please.

I live in a medium-almost-big city, and screen space is an issue. My filtering who I could see had no effect on others; they couldn't even tell I was doing it.

Now without filters, I spend lots of time actually blocking people so I can see more interesting others. I block the same people over and over, and I think they understand they're being blocked every day by many users who have had to resort to doing this in order to make room on the cascade. I imagine it's a more hurtful feeling than a filter. Filters didn't throw people away or shut them out. They just didn't show up on my cascade. They had no idea.

Before the filter was removed, I never had to block perfectly harmless strangers proactively just because I wasn't interested.

Bring back the filters! I’m a white guy and the only people I want to filter out are other white guys. This isn’t racism, it’s who you are attracted to sexually.

I love Asians, a l non-white people. As a white person moving from Hillbillie MISSOURA, I've embraced change and LOVE the wide variety of people meet. They add character and fun to my interaction.

Honestly couldn’t agree more. I’m Latino and I would like to be able to connect with other Latinos when in my area there aren’t any. I thought this was a big mistakes form the begging
