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.

A free replacement for Grindr would be fantastic. Like A4A but better.

Grindr are overstepping. I want to meet who I want to meet. How dare they limit my filtering! Time for a replacement app!

All my friends and family are black. But grinder won’t let me see just the people I want to socialise with. Rubbish!

Totally agree that people ought to able to date with whatever ethnicity / culture they wish - be it their own or any other particular culture with which they find themselves particularly attracted. That is a positive thing - and not racism.
Race is just another innate attribute in the same way sexuality and gender are. Are we to delete all of these?
Those who start out thinking that everyone is a racist until they prove themselves otherwise are the idiots in this. The logical extension consistent with that would be to have governments legislating that there must be a target or quota for the minimum number of mixed race mariages or couples in the country with a target of eventually disallowing same race marriages. This would be laughable if it was not so dangerous.
Planet Romeo got this exactly right in my view - and Grindr got it exactly wrong. Hence this discussion! Just reinstate the ethnicity filter same as Romeo did with their perfectly explained perfect rationale.

Racist idiots are like liars and murderers. Liars can say they never lie and still believe it. Murderers can kill and rationalize that they never murder. Racism can never be rationalized as preference. It is pure prejudice. Leave out the filter. Deal with it or delete yourself. Otherwise, NEVER complain about homophobes; it's just their "preference."

Grindr is becoming useless without my ability to search for my interest. You haven't proved or made anything better by removing ethnicity.

I live in a predominantly white area, and having the ethnicity filter allowed me to meet other people from different ethnic groups. While we understand the need to discourage racism on the app, removing the filter doesn’t achieve this. If anything it exacerbates the problem by robbing people of the ability of people to find others within different ethnic groups

I know white guys that prefer black guys and v/v.
If the ethnicity feature should be removed then why not remove height and weight? It's called preferences. Has nothing to do with being racist. Makes the app harder to use, especially when many don't include a profile pic. Restore this feature please. -

To the white guy that resents Mr.BLM's comment: if it doesn't describe you then don't feel some type of way about it. White guy here, too.
