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?

Please add the ethinicity filter back. We need it. I pay for extra just for the filter

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.

Please stop the PC bshit, we don’t all like the same thing. Grindr has a backlash for removing it, why not bring it back??? You don’t care about your customers at all.

Just cancelled my subscription until you reinstate the filter. I live as a minority where we hardly register on the percentage scale. now you forced me into interacting only with racist members of of the majority., I have always felt the filter should be free that we would be fair to all races. The majority don't need the filter most of the time . I appreciate a few people prefer outside their own ethnicity. But in the main, the minority use the filter a lot more But you've gone the opposite way in a misguided approach to be politically correct

For Grindr to say they have to remove the filter to support black lives matter needs I just don't get at all. The complete opposite. to support black lives matter they should have made the filter free not remove it. I live in a virtually white area.. how am I going to get to see people of my own as a minority. People who won't display racist attitudes to me. I won't be renewing my subscription

Took the words right out of my mouth completely . exactly my thoughts and I'm livid

By removing ethnicity filter you have cornered me as a minority. no blacks on my grid in a 99 % white area and I'm unable to search for my own ethnicity., this once again discriminates against minorities because we are unable to select our own preferences on an issue as intimate as ***

Why did you delete search by ethnicity from refine search that i am looking for ? Can you explain why?

I'm not into other white guys....my screen is filled with them. It's not racist to have a preference...I'm white and prefer BLACK men. Deleting that feature was stupid and pandering

Since ethnicity filter is removed, the price of the app can be reduced as it’s giving us one less feature to search through!

Bring back the ethnicity filter. Not one black person enjoys this feature. I have my preference which is other black guys like myself. Now that the filter is gone im literally in a freakin sea of white guys... the very people who constantly message me wirh racist comments... we need the ethnicity filter back on. Plus i paid for that feature. That's literally the only reason I'm paying for grindr is these ethnicity feature

Unbelievable you took out ethnicity. It's not s negative something if you want to find friends from Asia who are in your country. Give people a choice!!

Seems racist to me to take the ethnicity filter out, especially for us People of color

I believe removing the ethnicity filter for nothing more than political correctness was a bad idea. There are plenty of white guys that prefer black and vice versa, so boiling this down to being a racist idea is a poorly conceived notion. The choice to remove the filter should be reversed.

It is outrageous that I am paying for Xtra and one of my main filters have been taken away. BRING BACK THE ETHNICITY FILTER! It was a terrible idea to take it away in the first place.
