What is the point of having filters if you don’t offer the opportunity to highlight or select all the possible listings you can put on your profile. You allow others to discriminate based on stats such as age, size, position, but exclude things like expectations and gender identity pronouns. Either allow filtering of everything or nothing at all.

We need to be really careful throwing the word ‘racist’ or ‘racism’ around so casually as to lose the real meaning of the word. Racism involves exalting one race as superior to all others. Having a dating preference based on race doesn’t do that and is therefore not racist. There is nothing wrong with finding members of another race attractive.

You all these people are poor business leaders. They dont know much if anything about business! They should hire professional business consultants . They have poor response times on everything! And dont actually gauge their customers wants and desires.

Is Grindr actually listening to their paid up members? So many have complained about the removal of the ethnicity filter, just put it back! Some people have a type, it is not racist. BLM as do all lives, the removal of this filter is misplaced and missing the point

So nearly 2,100 members or $210,000 in lost revenue. Still not enough for bad leadership to remove a requested and paid for feature.
Look BLM is important but this has nothing to do with it! I want what I want an others want what they want. Making the app more cumbersome make it’s not worth the upgrade.

My subscription is cancelled until I find out it’s restored... receipt attached

Wow, causing so much ruckus over not being able to filter out any racial/ethnic groups your don’t find attractive.... Maybe now all the “racial preference gays” will go away. 👏

I Canceled my subscription until they fix this.

Buck wisely said: “Ultimately, the decision to restore the ethnicity filters will come down to dollars and cents. If enough of us make good on our threats not to renew upgraded service, they will get the message.” Good point. My annual subscription renewal has been cancelled. Confirmation attached.

Ultimately, the decision to restore the ethnicity filters will come down to dollars and cents. If enough of us make good on our threats not to renew upgraded service, they will get the message.

Sadly, that might not become apparent immediately, so it’s my guess that we will be suffering without the filter for several more months.

Once the bottom has been negatively impacted, look forward to “exciting news” about how they listened to their subscribers, and have created a new level of service that now permits search by ethnicity.

As for me, I will not upgrade my service until the filter is restored.

This is absolutely ridiculous. grinder has no idea what they are doing. Over 2,000 votes and still the filter is not there! When are you going to get it together? Then you may as well remove all the other filters such as race on profile age weight eye color what you're looking for in tribes get rid of it all this is BS and when my subscription runs out I will not be renewing it unless this filter is back on here.

It has nothing to do with racism it is preference. Kinda like black guys trolling all the white people. They do that because it’s their preference. Those guys are the first to accuse you of racism, yet they aren’t dating their race either. Just gonna leave that laying right there.

I will unsubscribe to grindr unlimited if they don't restore the ethnicity filter. How on earth am I going to find other latinos in the middle of the USA Midwest? The don't even have a language filter so I can find Spanish language speakers.

Don’t be fooled loves the comments of people claiming to be black or people of color are likely from white gays😂

If Grindr does not restore ethnicity filter I am not paying for premium anymore and will need to find another app to meet guys.

Sexual preference is nothing to do with racism. Everyone has the right to find the ones they prefer. But not related with racism at all.

Please restore the ethnicity option as this effecting our search a lot

Why would Grindr remove the “ethnicity filter” and not remove “ethnicity” from profiles?????🤔🤷🏽‍♂️.......

So you decided to remove a much needed function but yet have “ethnicity” as a focal point on profiles ?!!!🤔🙄😒

How much longer are businesses like Grindr going to cave to critical theorist's racist bs? The level of cowardice at the top of these organizations is astounding. These execs are literally being race-shamed into these decisions. This behavior is disgusting and immoral because it's predicated on an obvious lie perpetrated by intolerant racists. And, the excuse to continue the lie is that anyone who complains is a racist......convenient.

It’s totally ruined the app for me. The idea that it’s racist... just read the comments. The whole point of this app is to allow folks to find each other — it was hard for gays in a sea of straights. Now it’s hard for poc or cultural communities within the broader gay community to find each other. It’s toxic that Grindr have done this, and I’ve been subject to way more abuse as a result of it being removed
