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.

Instead of getting rid of the ethnicity filter for prejudice, get rid of the options to post “no blacks” “no whites” “no trans” “trans only” “whites only” on profiles. That’s more prejudice than anything. It’s no difference filtering ethnicity and bottom shaming, trans shaming, poz shaming, and allocating by weight, height, and tribes. Sometimes people are just into a certain ethnic background and it’s a shame to not be able to celebrate that. Some people are into chubs, some people are into men above 6 feet. We should be able to find and filter what we are looking for and that includes ethnicity. It’s not discrimination. Its the exact opposite.
Instead of getting rid of ethnicity(which no one asked for), find a way to filter what where into and tier profiles at what we’re looking for. Sometimes people are only into certain things. Or not into certain things. There should be a way to set that. Maybe create a not into feature that’s kept secret and all those profiles with that feature are automatically removed from that persons feed. That would be more useful. Sometimes you’re just not a fit for everyone. And you don’t have to discriminate in order to do so. Find our ideal matches only.
You shouldn’t be able to promote what you dislike. Keep it hidden.

I’m only interested in Latino men, period. I’d pay to filter by ethnicity. Also, I don’t want to even chat with someone who is HIV positive, I would pay to filter them out of my grid entirely.

You are not really only attracted to black guys. You have a deep rooted fetish. Distance yourself from us.

Actual black users want the ethnicity filter back. Maybe actually talk to a black gay person and not just white gays before deciding to ruin it.

So it seems not so many folks are happy about you removing the Ethnicity Filter. How about you consider adding an Ethnicity Preference.
No matter what anyone says about choosing to flirt or **** certain people, their appearance plays hugely into the picture. If you prefer black hair over blonde, or blue eyes over brown, you get the picture. I for one prefer any Asian person over my own or any other ethnic group. I paid for a premium subscription just for that ability to find Asian men within a predominantly white population. I’m white by the way.
My subscription is expiring in September and I have already cancelled my renewal. I would prefer you give me a Ethnicity Preference search and I would renew.

The decision to remove the ethnicity filter was not properly thought about! There are pages & pages of requests for it to be reinstated with so many votes in total. If Grindr is not going to reinstate the ethnicity filter then they need to reimburse customers ASAP!

Totally agree about removing the ethnicity filter—why?? Because it made someone feel better in the current environment ?? Using Grindr now is annoying.

Please bring back the ethnicity filter option! It’s the only reason I was paying for Grindr Xtra which was saving me a lot of time. I will definitely not be renewing my subscription until this feature is back

Please bring back the option to choose what ethnic background and Race. It’s not prejudice or racist to be able to choose your preferred type of guy you like in regards to their ethnic or racial background

Why only POC should have the privilege of searching for an ethnic group?
Why grindr should discriminate on the basis of race forbidding any non POC user to user the ethnicity filter?
I support you as long as the ethnicity filter is bring back universally. -

Why POC should have the privilege of filtering by ethnic group?
Why on the basis on my race I am denied my HUMAN RIGHT of being able to chose who I would like to connect with?
Ethnicity filter should be back universally for everybody, then if grindr decides that requires a fee that's fine. -

I agree I don't understand why you are so prejudiced and hateful against other users who are trying to narrow down the result search without harming you or anyone else, why someone who is looking for an asian is necessarily a white man looking for an "exotic bite-sized snack"? You're being racist and tarring all white men with the same brush, what if instead they're looking for a romance?
The very first step is to stop judging people's ****** preferences implying that if you're looking to connect with an ethnic group rather than another one you are necessarily racist.
Grindr as a dating platform should advocated this, people need to get a grip with reality.
Anyone who think that being ignored by someone is necessarily racist without having any evidence should stop looking for a partner online or in the real life and have therapy.

Are you any closer to putting the ethnicity filter back. I think in the international uproar of black lives matter, some very valid issues were raised about the prejudices shown to black people. However removing the ethnic filter is totally unrelated to this cause and it simply makes scruff no longer useful to me and probably thousands of other white men who prefer to date people of colour. It can’t be racist to have a preference for a certain type of man any more than it is to choose an age range. What next ? No roles less were accused of being top-ist or bottom-ist.?
I’m sure you get my point. Pls bring the filter back.
You may not know but I’ve been an annual subscriber for a few years now. But I cancelled my membership and am using other sites where I can screen out the masses. -

Put Back ethnicity filter. You were wrong to remove it. This is a preference and has NOTHING to do with anything else . I will be cancelling Grindr when my subscription expires if this is not restored
