I would like to have the opportunity to block out some of the other Ethnicity out i don't want to see all of them

It was incredibly stupid of Grindr to remove the Ethnicity filter, this was a big reason why I paid for XTRA in the first place. To the people who don't like the ethnicity filter DON'T HAVE TO USE IT!

Exactly. Removal of this filter makes the claim that those with a preference are racists. As ethnicity is not a mandatory field to fill out to activate a users profile and there was a choice for no preference listed in the options of profiles listed. Those that don’t have a preference were already able to select guys who didn’t think listing their ethnicity would be valuable for a potential partner to be informed of.

Agree

In the name of Black Lives Matter, something I completely and fully support and stand for, Grindr made its app a “White Lives Matter Only” app by removing the ethnicity filter. It completely blows my mind. With Grindrs decision Grindr does not fight racism but endorses it by making ethnicities other then white invisible and Grindr a platform where only white peoples profiles matter while all other ethnicities no longer matter. Great job, Grindr, really well done. And just in case: this last sentence is meant sarcastically.

While I applaud the long needed focus on removing cultural bias toward any ethnicity, my preference for someone to date regarding ethnicity is in the same category as my preference for age and body type. It is simply a ****** attraction reference akin to my attraction to men vs women. I would suggest the removal of ethnicity filters is a step too far. Any respectful thoughts would be appreciated.

I use to have this option for iOS, but for some reason I do not have it on the computer and current version. Any thoughts on how to rectify the situation?

Diversity is beautiful, so are all the people in this world. It was great to easily find people you’re into.
People not comfortable with this just should not reference their ethnicity.
Same for the age, size, weight, that could be considered in this case as discrimination.

I PAY I SAY. BRING BACK ETHNICITY FILTER! I pay a lot of money for Grindr XTRA for features where I can CHOOSE who I would like and prefer to chat too. If Grindr wants to take features away I demand to pay less money for XTRA because I am not getting what I paid for, like being able to use that one specific filter. They can't just take features away and expect me to still pay for stuff I can't use anymore! I am losing lots of great Grindr friends because everyone is unsubscribing from Grindr XTRA because of this move from Grindr.

I agree. We should not be forced to see what majority users. That's what the filter option is for

You guys made a blunder! You removed ethnicity because of the recent events and that’s not OK 🛎😡🤬 You are looking at it from the wrong perspective, we most users are certainly not looking at it under a racist angle but as a preference! I’m from a Mediterranean ethnicity and I’m into black guys (go black never turn back 🍆🤣) there is no way whities can turn me on! If we follow your logic, why don’t you remove the age, height, weight... this could also be considered as discrimination against short, tall, fat, old guys... I think it’s about time to start looking for a new app, morons!

I like Asian and the Asian guys like me ! Why did you supprim this filter ?

Why?

You people should be ashamed of yourselves, you took away the option of ethnicity and I believe that you intentionally fill the pages with guys I definitely would never look for and what bothers me the most is that you kept the **** price the same. Now I have to pay the same amount with less filters and deal with looking at pages and pages of guys that I have no interest in nor will I ever have an interest in. Thanks Grindr I no longer want to use your service because there are plenty more options for me out there. I’m sure another app will appreciate my money more than you do apparently. I WILL NOT RENEW.

NOONE asked that the ethnicity filter be removed. Bring it back NOW!!!! Or I will also cancel my subscription.. Not enough people of color on here to begin with

This some *********, I'm canceling if they don't put that **** back on

Why was this removed? Please don't tell me political pandering, or I'll lose it.
This is an essential function of an app like this. It should not only be restored, but it should be part of the free app. Without this filter, Grindr is effectively useless, especially to free users who only see limited profiles.

Exactly! One of the reason i upgraded is to enjoy the filter feature. Now that it’s gone, I would not renew my xtra membership.
