Let people decide they want to be searchable by their ethnicity. That why minority communities won’t have to be lost in a sea of white gays. I can’t find my friends!

By eliminating the ethnic search, the regular search BY FAR shows WHITE MEN! So literally, you are eliminating men of color in the regular search. In order to find more men of color a person needs to upgrade and pay the highest amount so your feed is unlimited. This is nuts.

I mainly like asian and Latin guys. And then you guys take that feature away? Look, I’m white - I have nothing against other white guys but they’re SUPER EASY to find. To take away this feature while in the middle of a new subscription sucks.

I want this filter again, i only want see my type/****** preferences on my results.

We need the ethnicity back please helps narrow it down

Bring back the ethnicity filter. Without the filter, minorities cannot connect with other minorities.

Grindr should respect our money. It's not fair at all for Grindr to remove a filter we are paying for but not refund our money. BLM is not gonna work here on Grindr app. As Grindr you can't force people to like anybody. It's my choice. Today I may want a black or a white guy. Grindr should let the filter remain the way it was. You're just confusing us, not helping us. People are complaining about this issue. I am wondering how you can keep silent. Don't be like dictatorship leaders. Grindr was working good before BLM. And respect our money. We pay you, so respect our choices. Hope you will restore the filter.

Need ethnicity choice.

Over 1,300 votes to restore ethnicity but because they are reflected in different threads it appears that not many people are seeking the same request. I officially canceled my membership today. My $240 a year might mean nothing but if 1,000 of us did it they’d miss out on $20,000 in one month. Why are we giving a business free money when they are not listening to customers.

I am a white man . I am not attracted to other white men. The whole idea of the ethnicity filter was to help you narrow down your search of the type of men you are interested in meeting and engaging with. It has nothing to do with racism. it is personal preference. because I choose not to see the profiles of other white men does not mean I'm racist towards them. I think grinder made this decision trying to cover their own *****.now I must view hundreds of profiles of men that I am not interested in meeting. I am also canceling my paid subscription,because I will not have somebody telling me that I am a racist because I am not attracted to certain types of men.

I don't understand why people are talking about racism. everyone has their own taste in the type of men they like. I'd like to having the ethnicity filter so my screen was not filled up with people that I was not interested in checking out. It has nothing to do with racism. It's personal preference. Everyone has their own taste in many things

I agree. I don't like having to look at profiles that I am not interested in

So what you're into a certain ethnicity? Don't let actual racism destroy our ability to chose or have a preference.

Please bring back the ethnicity filter. It was so great to see the diversity of people arround.

Virtually everyone using the ethnicity filter is looking to select a potential partner based on minority ethnicity. It is no secret most guys on grindr are white and for those looking to filter to black, asian or latino for preference this is what we are paying extra for. Everyone who is upgraded needs to be refunded!!

Removing ethnicity filter was the most idiotic idea ever! For non-white people to find each other this feature is important. This has nothing to do with BLM. It has to do with quick access.

I am paying a monthly fee for this option. I demand a refund!

Honey, even when the ethno filters were available, there were never enough of them man’s’ to go round. They simply don’t go online

Perhaps this is a good time for self-reflection, to re-evaluate your ideals of others and realistic expectations. Maybe learn to love others in your region for who they are, they never asked for the level of prejudice you got going bad. White boy hating white boys, self-hate?, what is that

...best you be packin’ your bags and headin’ to South Africa to live, there’s plenty o black men’s there, you be in heaven

😘

Maybe try Facebook

Not every gay American Indian is interested in Grindr

I know of 2 part American Indian gay guys who found each other solely through social activities

I’m cancelling. Your attempt to be PC by removing ethnicity to remove barriers and promote racial mixing has backfired. I am white and have a preference for men of color. Now I mostly see white guys. Such a stupid move. Bye.

omg

don’t agree

I have moved all over the continent just to find genuine love

you should explore what really are your constraints, other people or is it something internally you need to address instead of blaming others for your perceived situation of deprivation. If you lived in eg Russia right now as a gay man irrespective of your genetic make up, you might have a bigger heart oh what others really have to contend with

Maybe start humanising instead of localising

It appears you are trapped with some very old-fashioned racism ideals
