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.

I live in Gillingham and I’m a student finding a partner is the most difficult thing ever as an African black man I would like to meet people like me that’s all I’m used to and that is my type and if I can’t filter all the white men out it makes it very difficult for me to connect with people like myself with similar experiences sometimes that’s all people want it’s not rocket science some ppl like to be around ppl like them and that isn’t a crime. I’m a broke student willing to pay for this because it’s that important to me as it is important to ppl with stable jobs you will lose money if you don’t bring it back. Some areas are just not diverse and diverse people in that area are lost and alone.

2019 people at present have voted for this feature, why have Grindr NOT re-implimented it?

If having ethnic preferences is now racist.. Then by following that logic, having a sexual preference must be sexist!!
Out with this pc nonsense..

I agree. We need this restored. It has NOTHING to to with racism. Its a preference. Its who you are attracted to. If you're not going to restore the ethnicity filter you might as well get rid of all the filters due to discrimination, body shaming. Etc..... jyst restore the Damn thing.

Since y’all decided to get rid of the ethnicity filter, why not remove the option for it in the bio? I just don’t see the point of having it with the other stats if it can’t be filtered.
For the most part, people will be able to tell what the race/ethnicity of the person they’re talking to is, by looking at their profile picture, sharing pictures, and chatting.The removal of the option to filter by ethnicity is performative and a lazy attempt of being “woke”, unless y’all get rid of the ethnicity stat altogether. If grindr truly wants to make a point then they’ll get rid of the ethnicity stat.
Otherwise, please bring back the option to filter by ethnicity. -

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to get rid of the “Ethnicity” search option? I won’t pay to use this app until the “ethnicity” feature is restored. This is just absurd. It makes finding who you’re attracted to much more difficult! I don’t want to have to sift through every profile to find someone I’m attracted to!

Agreed! But for the opposite reason! I'm native American, but I don't want to date another native American near me cause more than likely they know someone I know who knows. Y parents lol and it would be great to find a guy that's different from myself and not have to worry about being outted. And I also get confused for being latino alot, not that i feel some type of way about them its the people who are prejudice that are the problem. I'm often called many slurs. Often telling me to go back to my own country, when in fact I'm an Indigenous American whose from the very land we stand on and its not cool to say that to anyone. Especially here in America when my ancestors are the only ones that really have the right to say that. But yes bring back the filter. I don't wanna waste my time talking to anyone I'm not interested in just like the next guy. 🤷♂️🤣

It's not the least innpropriate, unless you have an extremely narrow mind and serious hang ups.
If any ones logic or reasoning for thinking that have an thinticity or race filter feels its only for people who are prejudice, then that very well could be the case, but if ur prejudice is ur preference of the type person ur interested in, is based on who ur comfortable with, that's ur choice & there is not a need to explain urself. -

So one of the reason why i subscribe to grindr pro is so that i can use the ethnicity feature. With that feature being removed, I don’t see any other reason why I wanna continue my subscription. Bye

Bring back the ethnicity parameter this was a feature paid for and now removed. Are we not entitled to chose ethnic background as well as age, sexual preferences, transgenders and sexual diseases among other things?

If Grindr doesn't bring back the ethnicity filter this will be my last time I will pay for Grindr. Grindr wants to charge too much even after taking off the ethnicity filter, instead of dropping the price. Grindr needs to either drop the price or bring back the ethnicity filter. Or both.

Please don’t re-add this. It was never an “ethnicity” filter, it was a race filter with Latino included. If you want an ethnicity filter, it would have hundreds of options. You were not filtering on ethnicity. You were filtering on race (which has no factual basis beyond prejudicial racial preferences)
