Absolutely ridiculous that this was removed in the first place...smh

Having a racial preference is no different than having a preference for eye color, or hair color, or height, or preferring a slim vs thick body type. Grindr please add this filter back

I’m only interested in others of the same race and would like a filter to filter people I’m 100% not interested in. Black, white, Asian, Latino, etc. Something like that anyways so I don’t have block everyone I’m not interested in just to see more people that I might like.

Race and ethnicity are entirely different things. Race is genetic and based
on outward physical appearance. Ethnicity is cultural ,language, diet,religion, music shared ,by a population .Today most modern nation's/ethnicities are multiracial societies. I think both categories are important for individuals to accurately express/describe themselves as well as whom they are seeking whether they desire the assumed comfort/attraction of sameness or the unpredictabie excitement/allure that the variety of human differences afford.

Guys get over yourself you sound ignorant

Some of us like to date outside our ethnicity as well. How is using that racists

Have been a EXTRA subscriber for 3 yrs
I will not be renewing my subscription
Taking ethnicity filter out takes away my preference
So me paying to be extra does nothing for me that a non paying subscriber gets
Grindr you ruined this app
You totally took this way tooooooo far

Taking the ethnicity filter out was the worst thing app did. Everyone has a type or preference. Takes so long to scroll to find what your interested in. It’s got nothing to do with racism

Totally agree. This political correctness is goin too far
So because we not into women does that make us sexist?

Return Ethnicity filter. What the hell does that have to do with racism?
It’s just a type or preference.

Personal choice and freedom to associate with whom one pleases is a fundamental right. The ability to exercise personal preference should not be seen as racist. Personally I feel little physical attraction toward my own ethnicity and would prefer to focus on other groups. Please restore the filter.

This app shouldn’t pretend to be something it isn’t. People want a bear Latino daddy, let them find it. Seems wrong to take away peoples choice and control. Censorship is the one thing that’s always unattractive. As is totalitarianism.

I'm agree, since Im into other ethnicity...
But I want to have change to choose.
So yeah.
The ethnicity filter, is not racist at all !
Is just matter of preference.

I just cancelled paying for Grindr xtra and deleted my account. If everyone just deleted their profile that wants this filter back maybe Grindr will get the hint.

I just use Planetromeo now. They have the ethnicity filter...

and when you bring back the ethnicity filter I, like thousands of others will start to subscribe to Xtra again. There is no point subscribing without it.

Why has this been removed, this is the filter we pay for? Grindr that feature the best one on the app and now you removed it? Give your long term users the best feature back.

And whats so stupid is...when you contact support about it, they have the unmitigated audacity to repetitively reply with the same dumb “scripted” responses like robots! I hope they lose so much money and wakeup !

This app is all about helping guys find their type, but in a cowardly concession to a vocal minority of users, you have forced white men who prefer to date white men into the roll of villains and narrow-minded bigots. It should be patently obvious that Including a racial preference is no more prejudicial than any other physical attribute. I’m forced to reject and risk hurting the feelings of well-meaning guys because you are too politically motivated to serve your consumers in the most equitable and honest manner available to you. If it doesn’t change, I won’t be here long.

Other sites such as Adam4adam.com or manhunt.net still have ethnicity filter and no one ever complains about it
Grindr has overreacted and taken it to another level
I don't remember reading anything about anyone complaining about it and Grindr took it away anyways
Seriously thinking of removing my grindr extra subscription, I pay extra every month to be treated the same way as a non paying subscriber
RESTORE the ethnicity filter , its one of the reasons I pay to subscribe because I like certain men
