I am so utterly sick of this leftist nonsense. Now you want to poison dating/hook up apps with it. Are you irritatingly "woke" people that stubborn that you refuse to understand that there are conservatives who are NOT Interested in playing your ridiculous racist games? I have every right to have a preference of race based on who I am attracted to. Get off your high horses.

I just makes sense for people to have a preference. Why would you take it away in the first place???

Please restore/return search by race.

I pay a lot of money for this app and the feature was there when I paid for it , you should not be able to change half way through, the ethnicity feature is like the Hight , Weight and age options we all have our likes and dislikes pulse if I can’t narrow down that I’m looking for the it doesn’t not matter I’ll just go back to the free version

Dear Grindr team. I am very happy to use this app so far and be a member since many years, but I am so disappointed that your team doesn’t know how to make different about “racist” and “preference”. Please bring it back and be smart how to organize the app.

Removing the Ethnicity filter is an unfortunate error. It is my right to choose who I am intimate with. ALL LIVES MATTER. As I live in a country with one of the highest HIV rates in the world and more than 80% of the population is of an ethnicity that is at significantly higher risk of having HIV, I am effectively being told my life doesn’t matter because I’m a minority and not black. I won’t be renewing any time soon.

You have my full support mate. I'm white, from Australia. I would buy you a drink in a heartbeat, as a gesture as my full support. You have the full right to filter as does anyone who has paid for the filter. Its absolutely insane, and ruined the app.

Some of us like finding other black or mixed dudes

Why cant straight people choose to block minorities like gays from certain things?

Its the same. If you want to be treated with respect you have to respect all people within a tiny minority community like gays.

Why do I pay for this **** and I have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find the ethnicity I like? That's bull. It is not racist to enjoy a particular race or ethnicity. If that's the case take off all of the filters. Just because of what's going on doesn't mean I have to be forced to not have a choice anymore. I like what I like and I am a paying customer so stop with the race bull already. It's so tired and so old. We should all get our money back especially cause Grindr is forcing people to CONFORM. You have to have *** with black people you have to have *** with white people you have to have *** with people ur not attracted to because if u don't then ur racist...that's the biggest load of **** I've ever seen in my life. Now we have to be controlled in our own community because of the real racist people. And Grindr goes along with it. Wow just wow such a shame. And Shane on Grindr for confirming to political views and taking freedom of choice away from people. Shame shame shame. I'm switching to chispa app atleast there I can get what I want. Instead of throwing money at Grindr to then tell me what I'm supposed to like and desire. ******** Grindr. Let's see if anyone even answers this. I can guarantee not. Why? Because Grindr employees and developers are to busy ******* people they don't actually like.????

I wish you would return ethnic search. Because at times interested in specific ethnicity Not a racist thing just a preference

I totally agree with this request - It's not about being a racist at all and it is very short-sighted and narrow-minded to suggest that everything to do with ethnicity is racism.
The whole point of Grindr is to offer LGBT community especially gay men an opportunity to enjoy their preferred ****** orientation. Within that choice are many other finer selective criteria that we would like to be able to have freedom to choose - height, weight, body shape, colour, etc.
It's not about racism and Grindr is MAKING it a racist issue. It also has absolutely nothing to do with #BLM.. what nonsense. Twinks matter, bears matter, white guys matter - everyone flipping matters, but let me have the right to choose who matters to ME!!
You cannot position yourself as commanding the pedestal of righteousness by telling people how to behave - what a load of ****!

Bring back the ethnicity filter.
Im not racist. Sexually i just prefer men of color, south asian mostly, arab.
Itd just my preference. Like some prefer bears, otters. Muscle, no different...
Grindr is getti g worse each year... Your not the only game in town anymore...

I miss the ethnicity filter. A preference is a preference. I don’t like sifting through a lot of profiles that I have zero interest. Why did this go away? Please bring it back. There’s nothing racist about having a preference. This isn’t a job interview.

Ethnicity is disappeared.. pls get it back

I don’t want to see why guys - my ****** was white, please allow me to filter against them again.

I upgraded to extra because I have a history of being abused by white men - as such I liked the ability to screen against them as I find many of them triggering. Please restore the ability to remove this tigerrer for me or refund me my premium subscription...

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.
