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.

yeah...
...honestly?
at the end of the day, removing the ethnicity filter truly was a meaningless, non-effectual gesture on grindR's part
because, those who are gonna discriminate (due to their prejudice / bias), are gonna discriminate regardless
not having the filter there to intervene merely adds one more step to that inevitable 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 of theirs
with that said: i'm telling you guys categorically, grindR is 𝐍𝐎𝐓 restoring the filter
it has been over two years now
so..
..the best thing we can do at this point, is collectively stop paying grindR for what is largely shit-tier "service" anyway,
and use a blocker to nuke all the obnoxious adverts those sons of bitches bombard us with, for every little actionthe only thing the c-suites of any 𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚏𝚒𝚝 understand is their loss of income, their own (violent, gruesome) deaths, and their own pain — beyond these, those greedy bastards could not care less if the very world around them burned to the ground

The same request, it would be good to restore the filter. This will help you better orient yourself in studies. It is still worth using support https://www.academicghostwriter.org/hire-essay-ghostwriter/ It will make the learning process a little easier and more useful.

Removing the filter (while noble and i understand the thought process) doesnt actually change much imo. If you were to message someone who isnt “interested” in you regardless, nothings going to happen. Having the filter for me DOES help me find other gay people though — and it used to be my go to to find other asians in my predominantly white neighborhood. The ethnicity filter removal has hindered me more than helped

I literally just want to find other gay asians to talk to. The ethnicity filter used to help me do that.

Sexual racism is racism, developed primarily from visual stimuli during adolescence.
It’s important to educate the gay population about this prejudice even if they wish to hide it under the term ‘preference.’

Please restore ethnic filter. We all have different preferences . We all don't like the same thing.

@e e
You lost all credibility by including gender. You do realize that the vast majority of Grindr's users are GAY MEN, right? I.e., cis men attracted to other cis men. You are seriously trying to tell us that we all need to include women and female-presenting men in our dating/sexual choices, otherwise we are prejudiced? GTFOH with your nonsense and stop trying to police other people's sexual orientation.

Oh eff off. A) Grindr isn’t going to “fix” anything. B) They are NOT reading these, nor do they care C) Not everyone views this as your supposed “problem”. We’re gonna fuck who we want to fuck, where we want to fuck, and when we want to fuck.
Get a fucking life, people!

There are hot people of every ethnicity, gender, body type, etc etc. Filtering out makes you less likely to confront and test your own prejudices which is what socialising should be about.
When your preferences or prejudices excludes other humans, you are a bigot.
When you try to confront your prejudice and identify it’s source, you may be useful to society.
Most gay men are sadly mired in self-hate, racism, sexism, transphobia and are too afraid that they’ll be found out, and the comments here prove this.
It’ll take centuries of successive anti-hate campaigns such as removing filters for this to disappear.

Porn videos and websites have had separate "ethnic" categories for DECADES. Where has all the outrage been over that? That's right, it's all new FAKE outrage so that you hypocrites get the attention and validation that you desperately crave on social media. Nothing more, nothing less. It's getting old and you sound pathetic. Get a hobby or something.

For the sake of each and every person who joins this social media dating app that is attracted to variety of people who derive from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds, I support the proposal to restore the ethnicity filter. Let me reiterate that such filter cannot have a word “race” since there is only one race: HUMAN RACE. With this being said, only word ETHNICITY is appropriate. ERASE THE COLOR LINE!

I want to say only one thing that the program greatly simplifies learning. Even in college, studying seemed difficult to me. That's why we had to use help https://www.nursingpaper.com/our-services/nursing-essay-writing-service/ It helped me combine two classes. Study at the medical faculty and take programming courses

It's grindr owners who are the racists bigots.
They are agents, too. Kicked me off with no explanation, apparently on the word of a fake profile. -

I experience more racism since Grindr removed the filter. I would rather those people can use a filter and not find me. I'm fed up up guys saying a look hot, asking me where I'm front and then blocking me after I tell them.

If anyone from Grindr is reading these comments, I've cancelled my subscription until this feature is restored and Grindr stops discriminating against underrepresented minorities, and again allows them to find and be found by like-minded mates.
