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 understand that it seems racist to have a search feature based on ethnicity, but I'm a white guy who's really not into other white guys. I live in Iowa, and this makes it difficult for me to find people that I'm attracted to. I don't fetishize people who aren't white, and I don't think that white people are somehow inferior, I'm just not really into people that look like me. And in Iowa, that's a lot of people. Please bring back the feature, but maybe find a safer, more palatable way to phrase it. It would help me out a lot because Grindr is one of those apps that made me feel connected in a world that previously made me feel distant. When I could find people who I was attracted to, and that were also attracted to me, it made me feel like a part of something larger. Something bigger. Please restore this option. I miss having this growth and self-actualization in my life, and I miss being able to explore that. Please understand that this isn't coming from a place of bigotry, or racism in any way. I just miss having a way to interact with men I'm attracted to, from whatever different background, who don't happen to be white Iowa men. Please help me.

It's like this, A point in life has hit us all hard. I've never been racist, never will! Just strange how to many people call wolf and tell on themselves. No matter what or how much I do to help, I'm getting slammed for being white, and this is where we need to accept we all bleed red, why should one race get by with breaking laws when most our ancestors came to the United States having to learn English and the ways and the laws of the land. And I believe that's what it should be nobody should be rioting if they're not getting their way, a law is a law if you want to sit there and pick everybody apart because of their color that's your problem let's grow up and move on with life.

700+ comments and 1500± votes... They removed it originally to be PC - and that's CRAP! For all those that says "if you want it, then you're racist."... Yet I hear nothing about the boys/queens/men running around screaming they only want "BBC". So, I'm a racist ONLY because I'm not attracted to a specific type? But, I'm not a racist because I only WANT a specific type?
People need to grow the hell up and face reality. Not EVERYONE has to be attracted to "you".

There are plenty of other ethnicities on Grindr that say they only want their ethnicity... this isn't just a white person thing

Dear developers,
I’m a loyal Grindr user, and I really appreciate the possibilities and convenience Grindr has brought to gay community.
However, the cancel of ethnicity filter made it so much harder for potato queens like me and other users with a specific type to find a perfect date. Therefore,I really hope you guys can have the ethnicity filter back to us.
Best regards. -

As somebody paying $40 a month for the Unlimited plan, you should restore the ethnicity filter and let people have the option to search how they want.

Again, removing the filter option is one of those ways to please the caprice of White people.
As an Asian guy, I was turned down 90% of the time by guess who...White people...which iis totally fine but removing this feature makes it hard for me to look for other people who would likely accept or prefer someone like me.
I decided not to renew my unlimited subscription because of this.

I am only interested in Asians. Is there a way to filter just what I'm looking for?

I’m only attracted to black men and with the ethnicity filter removed the app is useless. I’m going back to dating girls. Thanks Grindr for messing with my love life.

Preference - a greater liking for one versus another
Racist - prejudice or antagonistic towards a group.
Big difference! Political correctness will not force me to be attracted to someone that I am not attracted to. It’s not racist it’s what your mind selects. I wish we could go back to the old days when you were not forced to make choices that you don’t want to make. -

I date men of different ethnicity besides white men but it is almost impossible to find them because I live in an area that is predominantly white. Therefore I must scroll through many many pages of white men as I hope to find different ethnicities in my feed. Usually the app refreshes and forces me to start scrolling all over again just as I'm beginning to find diverse ethnicities in my feed.

If you are going to remove features that users have come to know, love and depend on, then you should reduce prices. Like it or not, the ability to search profiles by ethnicity is/was the #1 reason guys choose to pay for Xtra/Unlimited subscriptions. Fix this, or give us back our money!

Just because you like a certain skin tone, doesn't make the others invalid. It isnt racism, it's a preference.
