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.

If you want to remove race then remove all filters as per you it comes under discrimination but for me it’s my preference. I don’t support discrimination but I want my preferences back and that includes race

Ethnicity search. Bring it back. This is a ridiculous move. It’s no different to height or weight, top or bottom!
People have, sorry had, the option not to show if they did not want therefore in control of their own profile.
Please switch it back on. We are all grown ups and we all have preferences and ability to make choices

Race is a real physical preference and this filter should be allowed. I may not be attracted to men of a particular race and I should have the ability to filter this way

Let me be blunt, I love a big black ?, I love to look at it, I love to touch it, I love it in my mouth and I love it in my ?! This is a date app not a political human rights fight platform, how am I suppose to find a black guy now in the sea of white men which don’t even interest me?
I need ethnicity filter back!

Why was the filter by ethnicity removed? Return the filter by ethnicity. You removed it but it is essential.

Please bring back the race filter! It’s so annoying I pay for the xtra access! I’m a black man and I have a preference on the guys I’m attracted to! It’s not racist at all. So now instead I’m getting messages from guys that I’m not I tested in! This was a stupid idea to remove it

Turn the ethnicity filter back on. Everyone is entitled to their own racial preferences. Stop trying to be politically correct. You cannot engineer racial preferences anymore than you can ****** orientation. I dropped my Extra account and won’t restart it until you reverse this patronizing and offensive policy choice.

Removing the preference will not make folks not into certain ethnicities, start dating or sexing them... not! It’s a preference, get over it and I’m Latino!

I don’t see the point of switching to Xtra Grindr if the ethnicity option have been phased out

Hi,
I appreciate Grindr's support with regards towards racial inequality and injustices -- I really do. It's an important issue that needs to be addressed, and companies should be applauded for taking a meaningful stance.
But, I cancelled my premium subscription today because the app no longer lets me filter by the guys I would like to see.
I'm kind of confused by this change, to be honest. I know many Asian men who only want to date other Asian men, or many Latino men who feel that they'd prefer to date men who come from a similar background. Removing that filter makes the app objectively less effective in allowing users to filter profiles based on their established preferences.
This change won't influence the end game of any man who wants to date men of the ethnicity he wants to -- so really the change only hurts the end user and as a result, this quite honestly feels like a virtue signal rather than a product enhancement in line with social responsibility.
Best of luck, but I won't be subscribing going forward.

Agreed! I'm sick of going out of my way to block person after person after person! Filters! Hello? No brainer with this one. Smh

When using the filter for ethnicity, it does not work. Simply brings up guys of all ethnicity.
I'm currently on a free trial for 7 days, and so far, pretty unimpressed.
Could you tell me if this is a bug that's being looked into, please?
Thanks,

Bring it back. I also paid for a year and now my subscription isn't worth as much. Refund or bring it back.

Having the ability to select the ethnicity of guys you find attractive will make for a better experience

Caveat: I’m a major BLM supporter. Glad to see something positive emerge from the pandemic. BUT, please re-enable the ethnicity feature. I do not believe that our community expressed outrage over the years for listing and being able to search ethnicity preference. This is a hookup and dating app. We should be able to filter and self-police. We don’t need your software developers doing that for us, thank you very much. What’s next NO AGE FILTER because we’re being agist? That’ll be the day and the end of Grindr, ha.
