Ethnicity was a feature before where you can choose who you search for and who’s profiles you want to see. This is the only reason why I paid so much to upgrade only to find that the option was removed. To be able to set exactly who I am searching for and who I want to see. Can this option be added again please. I spend most of my time on here deleting profiles to be able to see MY choice of profiles. Otherwise you can add that as a reason why one deletes the app...

As someone who only seeks Asian guys, there is no point me continuing with my Xtra subscription as I can no longer filter for "Asian"
This is NOT racism, it's a sexual preference. Grindr and the whole world has gone "racist" mad. Well, you won't be getting any more money from me and I imagine thousands of others. Many found it a useful filter, many didn't care and a tiny few objected but in reality it's Grindr covering their ass. Be bold FFS

I'm black, I filter out black people, am I racist? No iim into other than my own race, it's simple

Eh no dear, everybody is entitled to their own preferences, they are not debatable they’re personal not something that can be policed by anyone else. Spare the studies, they’re totally irrelevant.

Indeed

Why removing the filter? We are not entitled to our preferences now? How am I going to find the guys I really like, with the crystal ball? Why imposing to millions of users the requirement of a small fanatic minority?

“ This disproportionally affects black, brown, and Asian men when the goal should be a safe space” reading the comments of black brown and asian men they are all enraged by this change. This is an ideological point being shoved down our throats. It’s wrong.

How the ethnic group filter literally enable racism? No one can police anyone else ****** preferences, I’m looking for Middle Eastern because of their culture, language; look, how this could be remotely racist? The main question though is which superior being are you to impose everyone else on earth your personal opinion and force and coerce them YOUR WAY in their quest to find a partner?

Do you realise that you are racist saying “ White South Africans are *very" racist“ LOL

It isn’t racist to have a search for ethnicity. It isn’t stopping anyone who is and just punishes who isn’t

No one is targeting minority groups for criminal acts. The fact that there is a potential doesn’t mean we should erase our ****** preferences, I can’t find my Middle Eastern guys anymore now. Put the filter back!

I’m a Caucasian guy and I totally understand you and support you. This has been a big mistake of grindr to meddle with hard left politics and impose their biased views to all of us. Unfortunately now I’m stuck as against our will, they clearly treat us like kids or trash while they’re the enlightened élite. I stupidly bought the yearly subscription. GUYS DON’T BUY THE YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION!

You’re so progressive that you are forcing your political views on me, you are oppressing my ****** preferences, grindr once was a free world where I could find Middle Eastern guys using the filter, now instead it disappeared, you forcibly impose on me the request of some minority group that have the misled opinion that someone may not have ethnic ****** preferences. Stop censoring people stop invading my ****** life, having to tap each single tile in order to find what I’m looking for it’s not clever, it’s plain stupid.

Please please bring back ethnicity filter. Its not racist to have preferences.

Go back to when we could search for Asian Black Latin European White Mixed

Please bring back ethnicity search. It’s not racist. It’s preference. I will likely cancel my xtra membership without it.

Bring BACK the ETHNICITY FILTER! Without it, white guys dominate the grid and taking the filter away kinda backfires in what you were “TRYING” to do. I’m open to all races, but sometimes you might wanna filter through it. One day I may want to hit up some white guys, the next day I may wanna hit up some black guys, the next Asians and so on, but I can’t do that if white guys dominate the grid. Y’all have WHITE WASHED this app even more than it used to be. I definitely won’t be paying for any additional features if this persists!

Just cancelled my annual XTRA. Not worth the extra cash vs free.

Filters mean that we can find a Trans/ Couple/ Sober/ Discreet but we now can't narrow down to find Asian or POC. You think people are EXCLUDING minorities when it's actually the reverse. STUPID STUPID STUPID political overcorrection.

Please return race filter. Removing it does not encourage Integration. it just blurs identity. I want to be seen as a black man not Ambiguous.

why cant I filter by ethnicity anymore? Why was this removed? I pay for my subscription and would like to cancel it because of this removed function
