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.

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!

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.

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.

How about a compromise? Allow ethnicity filters for dates and right now (which are linked to ****** attraction and are not racist) but remove them for friends, chat, and networking (which are not necessarily linked to attraction and therefore could be deemed racist).

I think you guys need to have some ethnic minorities on your board. You would never have removed the filter because as an ethnic minority that was the only way I could begin to see people of my own ethnic group. Now you've removed it there is no point remaining with Grindr. We are all entitled to our own preferences you have now made it even more biased towards the majority because they probably use the ethnic filter less. I appreciate there are some of the majority who would filter positively looking for minorities but they are fewer than the average minority looking for one of his own. You on the board simply don't seem to be able to wear shoes and have pandered to political correctness. This is actually a backward step not a forward step

You have gone to far in removing the ethnicity search option. So you got some complaints?? Who care? It is human nature to be attracted to who we are attracted to. No PC censoring is going to change that. Grow the heck up. And add it back, or someone will start an app that will.

Have you figured out a way to role back your cowardly rollback of ethnicity search fetures?

I'm curious who told you that having a preference is considered racist. Because you're wrong. This country is going backward. Grow some balls.
IF YOU THINK HAVING A PREFERENCE IS RACIST YOU'RE ******* ********. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE ALL FILTERS. AND I MEAN ALL OF THEM. BECAUSE NOW I'M OFFENDED. I'M A BOTTOM AND HOW DARE YOU GIVE TOPS THE CHOICE TO PICK TOP OR BTTM. I LIKE TO HOST; THE NERVE OF GRINDR TO GIVE TRAVELERS THE CHOICE. I'M A JOCK; WHY DO BEARS, GUYS NEXT DOOR, ETC ETC GET A CHOICE? I'M ONLY 5'6 FUXK YOU AGAIN FOR LETTING TALL PEOPLE BLOCK ME FROM THEIR SEARCH. SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS?
At this moment in my life I prefer pasty *** white boy. That doesn't make me racist. Or would I be racist against tan white boys? You're letting people dictate how you run your business. I hope it don't bite you **********. I'm all for BLM but I'm more for ALL LIVES MATTER ALL THE TIME. So I think you have no other choice but to remove all preferences. Everything. Because I'm offended that I can't send the guys snap shots of some white hung vers top daddy who's HIV undetectable tongue jacking my **** boxs without feeling bad because it doesn't say yes they want to see my dirty pics. Ha ha thank for listening.
