How do we find out any update on this.
I’ve ended up using my other apps more, since the ethnicity preferences was deleted.
When I’ve read other responses, it seems the predominate choice is to have them restored.

Do you send updates on GRINDR’s decision.
Are the messages having any affect a out a reversal.

Why ask for comments, if the %
of responses indicate reversal, but apparently, nothing has changed.

I am Black in a predominantly white town. I like to meet people who look like me; It makes me feel more comfortable. I hope to one day marry another BLACK man because only he will relate to the struggles I go through. I don’t like that people automatically thought of racism when seeing that filter because now I barely if ever see a black person on the app. Thanks Grindr smh. Ps. Why would you want ppl who don’t like your ethnicity to see your profile in their searches anyway? I don’t want racists seeing me lmao. Bring back the filter!!

preferring people of one's ethnicity is not racism

As a black man who primarily prefers white men I can honestly say this is BULLSHIT! I love “my people and culture” I just don’t wanna fuck any of them. It’s super crappy that this is Grindr’s attempt at being racially sensitive. It’s inconvenient and honestly makes buying Grindr extra not worth the money.

Im living at the border netherlands/germany and i would like to see a filter so i can only see dutch people.

Preferences aren't racist, bring it back.

I am white and only interested in latino and Asian guys. Now I have to scroll forever through people I am not interested in. Ridiculous.

I just stopped paying for Xtra. No point anymore. Vote with your money people!

Well agreed and I am saying this as a POC. Everyone should be allowed to search and filter however they want to date across the ethnic spectrum or perhaps one wants to filter just for a few. It cuts down any confusion or folks not answering or people writing to someone who has not interest in them.

A very odd thing to have and then remove. It does not make any sense almost every other dating app has that option.

I am left of left but doing this is just a bit too much and seems they are taking features out than adding them in, yet their price point is not going any lower.

You all they do not care about what we want ...it has been proven!!! We might as well patronize another app!

Está opción es algo que destaca a esta aplicación porque el amor te puede llegar en cualquier raza o de cualquier forma sea negro blanco latino asiático y este filtro te ayuda mucho y justamente siento que evita el rasismo porque tú puedes sacar encuestas de que cualquier persona busca el amor en otro tipo de personas por favor regresen está opción

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?
