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.

Please restore ethnic filter. We all have different preferences . We all don't like the same thing.

You lost all credibility by including gender. You do realize that the vast majority of Grindr's users are GAY MEN, right? I.e., cis men attracted to other cis men. You are seriously trying to tell us that we all need to include women and female-presenting men in our dating/sexual choices, otherwise we are prejudiced? GTFOH with your nonsense and stop trying to police other people's sexual orientation.

Oh eff off. A) Grindr isn’t going to “fix” anything. B) They are NOT reading these, nor do they care C) Not everyone views this as your supposed “problem”. We’re gonna fuck who we want to fuck, where we want to fuck, and when we want to fuck.
Get a fucking life, people!

There are hot people of every ethnicity, gender, body type, etc etc. Filtering out makes you less likely to confront and test your own prejudices which is what socialising should be about.
When your preferences or prejudices excludes other humans, you are a bigot.
When you try to confront your prejudice and identify it’s source, you may be useful to society.
Most gay men are sadly mired in self-hate, racism, sexism, transphobia and are too afraid that they’ll be found out, and the comments here prove this.
It’ll take centuries of successive anti-hate campaigns such as removing filters for this to disappear.

Porn videos and websites have had separate "ethnic" categories for DECADES. Where has all the outrage been over that? That's right, it's all new FAKE outrage so that you hypocrites get the attention and validation that you desperately crave on social media. Nothing more, nothing less. It's getting old and you sound pathetic. Get a hobby or something.

For the sake of each and every person who joins this social media dating app that is attracted to variety of people who derive from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds, I support the proposal to restore the ethnicity filter. Let me reiterate that such filter cannot have a word “race” since there is only one race: HUMAN RACE. With this being said, only word ETHNICITY is appropriate. ERASE THE COLOR LINE!

I want to say only one thing that the program greatly simplifies learning. Even in college, studying seemed difficult to me. That's why we had to use help https://www.nursingpaper.com/our-services/nursing-essay-writing-service/ It helped me combine two classes. Study at the medical faculty and take programming courses

It's grindr owners who are the racists bigots.
They are agents, too. Kicked me off with no explanation, apparently on the word of a fake profile. -

I experience more racism since Grindr removed the filter. I would rather those people can use a filter and not find me. I'm fed up up guys saying a look hot, asking me where I'm front and then blocking me after I tell them.

If anyone from Grindr is reading these comments, I've cancelled my subscription until this feature is restored and Grindr stops discriminating against underrepresented minorities, and again allows them to find and be found by like-minded mates.

It is natural for people to be more attracted to a certain ethnicity. I love brown and black people. It is my personal choice. This app shouldn't restrict the search by a certain ethnicity because that's part of the seduction game. I hope, like most users, to see ethnicity search on Grindr reactivated.

Call me crazy but I don't think it's racist to have a type that may be closely aligned to a different ethnicity... isn't this just crazy about the woke world and woke agenda we are living through... I am not subscribing to GRINDR again until the platform allows me to search for what I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody should do the same! DON'T SUBSCRIBE UNTIL THEY ALLOW US TO SEARCH FOR ETHNICITIES!

I am so sick and tired of Grindr Management Team being ignorant to so many GAY men writing about their negative feelings about Grindr being taken over by straight men/women.
i have canceled my subscription and sent this message to Grindr.
I have had it with being ignored
GRINDR GET INTO THE GAY AGAIN OR GO FUCK URSELF IN YOUR MONEY SEATCHING STRAIGHT BUTTS.
OVER AND OUT
Due to you lack of a response to the enormous amount of User Voice messages requesting
- restore the ethnicity filter
- make the Gay grindr gay again by installing a filter to remove men and women seeking straight sex
- restore a two level payment - instead of getting more and more cash of gay men with supplying the wanted serviceand no response to ANY of the items - I find it very rude from Grindr management to ignore 8000+ inputs.
I have therefore decided to cancel my subscription until Grindr Management decides to implement a proper customer service.
looking forward to read a proper and correct manager response to this message - not another wishiwishy “go fuck yourself response as always.
Regards a very angry GAY previous customers.

And they went up on the Unlimited price
Use to be $39 for 3 months now they want $39 EVERY MONTH and still taking away filters that EVERYBODY wants back -
Daniel commented
Yeah.. we can write here everyday. The owners of Grindr are probably not intelligent enough to understand, they will not change racists, even after deleting the ethnicity filter. This is kind of "tech giant terrorism". We all have to do, what they allow us. The filter was there for years. I have read different studies about the problem: EVERY STUDY SHOWS, PEOPLE ARE NOT LESS RACIST WITHOUT ETHNICITY FILTER. This is a real SCANDAL what You do, Grindr!!! You ignore the community. We should all BOYCOTT You!!

Grindr has successfully got rid of 99% of all other ethnicities except for white men, 99% of the guys on here now are only white men
So seems to me Grindr is the biggest racist of all
Can hardly find any other ethnicities now -
Alexis Navarro commented
I'm Caucasian and where I live 95% of guys on Grindr are Caucasians. I'm just trying to find guys from different ethnicities to connect with. I'm very keen on language and cultural exchange. Having no filter option just makes this an impossible task, especially when most profiles don't even have a pic to begin with.
Assuming that people want to filter the minorities OUT, is racist in and of itself. Did it ever cross your narrow little minds that some people actually want to filter them IN?
You know, sadly, not every country is like the US, where diversity is abound...Edit: @Jay JayVa... Marry me.
