Just add it back! It’s not racist any more than being into blonds or redheads.

As a caucasian gay male, I decided to try grindr to find a potential partner. I happen to be “ATTRACTED” to other Caucasian males!!! I’m apppaled at the removal of the filter allowing me to help aid my search for a mate. This is NOT a matter of racial injustice!!! It’s a preference for a sexual partner which is my right! I’m forced to see more and more profiles for transsexuals as well as posts by “females!” Restore the original grindr for GAY MEN who wish to meet other GAY MEN of their sexual ATTRACTION and allow us the right to CHOOSE!

This.
Interesting.
Thought-provoking.

“For those talking about restoring that are paid members before Grindr did the change and then implied and called us racist over ethnic preferences.

Everyone has standing to start under the terms a legal dispute. EHarmony and others have had to pay out over $12 million plus each. I have started the first part of the legal action. And for violating my civil rights by there own comments I have found a way out of the terms and conditions to file a federal lawsuit due to the implementations of fraud Grindr committed.”

Yes I recently Paid for unlimited only because of the Ethnicity feature , Once I found out it was gone... I requested and successfully got a refund from Apple. I refuse to pay for something with very limiting value

Instead of removing the race filter to eliminate any potential negative publicity, incorporate something positive like the rainbow flag, or changing the color of the logo temporarily to show Grindr supports all communities as other corporations like Trulia, Google, and others have done recently.

Please restore the ethnicity filter. As a paying user, I think the ethnicity feature should be restored.

Removing the race filter has caused more racism. You guys acted too quickly without thinking.

I paid for the option to use the race filter. Don’t waste my money or I’ll stop paying for Xtra.

I’m super duper white and for the last 20 years, I’ve consistently and without variation found men of other ethnicities vastly more attractive than my fellow gringos.

The ethnicity filter is simply a way of making searches more efficient, removing the guys to whom it is highly unlikely I will be attracted.

For what it’s worth, when I set the ethnicity filter in the past, I checked every option EXCEPT white. If anything, it helps increase the likelihood that a man of color will hear from me!

And for white guys who only like white guys....it’s not racist any more than black guys or Latino gents who say they only prefer others of the same ethnicity. Our personal preferences are complex and rooted in some pretty heavy & deep psychology. Removing this filter was a nice gesture to the BLM movement, applause for attempting to be politically correct. But all it does is slow down users’ ability to use the service, and therefore its value to them.

Please bring back the ethnicity filter. Gesture done, mission accomplished, millions of gay men & Trans folks & everything adjacent & in between had our lives inconvenienced slightly but consistently for several months because Corporate felt pressured to do something, and this was the obvious choice. Statement made, mission accomplished. Now just quietly flip it back on. Don’t make a press release about it, just do it. Like 3 people will care, but another several hundred thousand will be thankful. I, for one, would consider paying more for a subscription that included this feature—it is that important to me.

It's true

Race filters should be an option. I specifically list what I am in search of, but other races disregard that and bother me anyway. It's disturbing. I have zero interest in hooking up with anyone other than in my race. Reason being is because others disrespect my wishes and force the envelope anyway. Not interested.

Why can’t I search by racial background? It’s not racism to search by what your personal preferences are.

Like many others. I do not like being punished because somebody wants to control who I look at. For real, do you really think that will entice anybody to date you or hookup with you if you are not their type? I can and will date or hookup with whoever I want but it was nice having the ability to filter preferences. When I was looking for a black guy, it was nice to filter black guys, when I wanted a white guy, it was nice to filter for white guys. The same goes for Asian and Latino men. My subscription has been terminated and will remain terminated until Grindr re-instates something that I already paid for.

I’ve cancelled my subscription until this filter is restored. Keep getting trial offers but sorry won’t be taking it up or subscribing until ethnicity filter restored. Nothing to do with racism. Sometimes I might want to search for a white guy or on another occasion a black or south Asian guy. This really needs restoring.

I’ve canceled my subscription until you restore this. You advocate for body shaming by allowing us to filter by body type, but refuse an ethnicity filter. The biggest amount of BS ever.

I live in a country where I am an ethnic minority. It is not racist if I choose to date within my own ethnicity. It IS racist to not give the the choice. No Ethnicity option, no subscription.

I agree, removing the ethnicity filter doesn’t mean someone is more likely to date someone outside their attraction preference. It’s no more discrimination than filter out people for their age, weight, height, body type or position. Especially considering you still allow us to designate our ethnicity on our profile.

Add back the filter for Ethnicity. This is a preference and has nothing to do with anything else. If you don’t add it back then everyone should get a refund on the upgrade price and free u limited blocks to block out the people you are not into sexually.

I'm giving grinder 30 days to bring pack ethnicity or I'm closeing my paying account and going to hornet or jacked those apps still have ethnicity I'm not paying grinder one penny with out ethnicity
