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.

When I was 19 I was attacked by 2 guys. I was 100lbs they both were a couple of years older and about 150 to 170 lbs. They tried to rape me. I barely got someone to hear me making as much noise as possible. One was discovered to be a rapist the police were looking for. The other one was selling drugs that weren't pure at all. Both were dark skinned. To thus day if a black man flirts I might have a flashback and freak out about it. Once it was bad I was fighting for my life and the guy did not do anything wrong I just panicked when I was remembering that night.i wish the incognito were enhanced with better my type filters. I have deactivated my profile because I have aggressively propositioned to the point of blocking people who then make a new profile just to make sure I hope that we never meet up or else.

I absolutely agree. A language filter would be handy.

Grindr subscribers should cancel subscriptions to Grindr until we get what we originally paid for. ethnicities are not a racial issue its a personal preference. You cant expect us to be ok with paying more and getting less. I'm thinking a lawsuit is in the future unless we get compensated.

If selecting ethnicity is considered racist, then selecting body type, height, what u identify also falls in that same bucket as it’s selecting someone by physical/cultural background. Saying no fats no fems fit only is the same thing. Another example of following the crowd out of fear...when will we learn.

As many gays here in USA blatantly discriminate , it will happen anyways . Although I like all colors , when I’m seriously horny and need to avoid the sexual racists I have more success when I select people people of color . It saves me the hassle and I can get laid with a hot guy !

Agreed! Filtering ethnicity doesn’t mean racism! Everyone has own preference, prefer an ethnicity doesn’t mean discriminate other ethnicities!

To NOT be a RACIST is to not have RACIAL preferences—one has to value a race higher than / superior to another to form a "preference."
If you're strictly talking about physical attractions that are supposedly non-racist, you can point out attributes that are not necessarily tied to a "race"—which is a construct based on outdated science anyway—e.g. prefering strong/soft jawline, pointy/flat nose, thick/thin lips, tanned/pale skin, double eyelid or epicanthic fold, etc.Culturally, if you're ONLY comfortable with your own, whether you're racist or not, you're just close minded or lazy.

To anonymous,
So I have to date other races or I’m a racist? Use your logic please. Your words, not mine. -

This feature use to exist but it was removed and that is very unfortunate for me. I live in Sarasota, FL and the area is not known for racism however, on Grindr, the white men comprise most of the community. Most of the white men do not associate with black men and it's very difficult to connect with the ones there might be without being able to specifically search for them.

So...wanting to date within your own ethnicity (W4W, B4B, A4A, L4L, etc.) because you're not open to other "races" isn't racism? Use your logic please
Cal obviously you are ignorant and do not pay attention. Having a preference, finding attraction to a certain race etc. is not racism. Racism is when you believe that a particular race is superior than another and you purposely deny opportunities to people of that race. Love should be blind regardless of skin color etc but that does not mean that finding a certain color of men etc. by an individual as more attractive is racism. I am white and happen to be attracted to Latino men. Sorry if that makes me racist in your eyes but it is what it is. All you are doing is making it more difficult for me to find a guy that I find attractive.

They will probably stand by their decision if they ever encounter this complaint, because they want to perpetuate support for blm. They also definitely dont read these comments.
