I'm a incognito subscriber- the primary reason that I have this app it is I'm able to use the filters and chat with those I am are most interested in - without wasting a lot of time I don't have !
They need to rethink this ridiculous policy in reference to ethnicity, if people don't want to be identified with a race they can leave it blank

More importantly everyone I knows fills it in because they're looking for other people who have that similar likes in - it's no different than age or body structure - otherwise I won't be renewing

Ridiculous I Like Asian guys ; it was way people could find a match if someone didn't want they could just leave it blank
Grossly over-analyzing

Enough is enough! Stop racism debate and cut rights of others! I want back that filter! I have a right to filter my favorite ethnities! I do not have to like each and ever ethnicity on this world. It is unacceptable and ridiculous what is going on now!

I paid extra specifically for this. It’s not fetishism for me or racist. I date black Latino and middle eastern. I paid extra for this option and have. Angeles my extra membership starting in March.

I AM PAYING FOR AN XTRA SUBSCRIPTION.

I AM NOT PAYING TO SEARCH THROUGH ALL MANKIND TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE TO CONNECT WITH.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR BLM OR MINORITIES. EVERYONE ON EARTH HAS A PREFERENCE WHEN IT COMES TO THE INDIVIDUALS WE CHOOSE TO ASSOCIATE WITH.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY I WANT THE ETHNICITY FILTER RESTORED.

THE MAIN REASON IS THAT I AM USING XTRA AND THAT MEANS I PAY FOR PREMIUM FEATURES.

IF GRINDR IS GOING TO ALTER THE APP IN A WAY THAT TOTALLY MAKES IT WORTHLESS, I DEMAND MY MONEY BACK ASAP.

So Grindr. You made a public comment because you wanted to jump on the bandwagon, and removed the ethnic filter, which is more of a preference than racist. Might as well take the age and weight filter away too, maybe height as well seeing as I'm not into short guys (I'm 6'3). Well that's my subscription cancelled as all I get now is a sea of profiles that I'm not sexually attracted to. I live in a majority Caucasian country and city, I've no issues with everyday interactions, just not sexually attracted to white. Now, I can't even see if someone I like is driving distance away as my screen is now full of profiles I've no interest in nor can discern (no pic etc.) Swallow your **** up (no pun intended) Grindr and bring the ethnic filter back. You've made the app unusable and you're actually hurting black and other minorities more. I'd even go as far to say you're hurting all races as everyone had a preference, and that preference might be a guy of a different race.

Bring back the ethnicity filter.

It would be great if Grindr would restore the ethnicity filter on the app

Wtf why did you remove filter i pay for this im going to dispute if i cant have it back i dont want random people i want what i want

I'm not racist. But 'etnality filter' is necessary for someone. I am an Asian man living in Europe. Many white people don't care about Asians, and they're a minority of Asians. Racists don't care if I'm seen or not. That's why I have to find an Asian like me. I bought a paid membership to use a filter. It's not like I'm racist against them, it's like a solidarity that I find and form in the discrimination they give me. Just as we have different gay and lesbian applications, it's like a sign of solidarity among single Asians.

While I understand the importance of providing an inclusive platform, I also want you to take into consideration that some of us POC would like to be able to connect with other POC. One of the reasons why I paid for the app was to be able to find a place where I can connect with other men of color. In taking this away now I’m limited to engage with the community near me which is mostly white and not really accepting of me

By removing ethnicity you’ve further isolated me from finding folks that identify as a person of color in a very white space. Anytime I’ve been in a extremely white space folks are extremely racist. I understand the motive behind the decision, however, this feature is helpful for folks who want to build a community with others who identify as a person of color. Many of my experiences living in predominantly white spaces have been traumatic. I’ve been told to go back to my country, been called a wetback, a sand ******, etc. So removing the ethnicity option is counterproductive.

Don’t have to worry about this problem anymore!

As a POC trying to find my community. This really hurts. Please bring it back

What you’re doing by removing the ethnicity filter is tyrannical, social engineering ********. We’ll decide our own morals and make our own choices. I will be waiting 1 week, then cancelling my subscription and deleting this app if this is not rectified. It’s disgusting that you think your “morals” should supersede your customers freedom. Have a spine and stand up to the mob. We’re NOT racists for having our preference and all you’re doing is making it more difficult for minorities to find each other if that’s what they wish to do. I like Asian and Latino men, you ARE NOT going to make my preferences ***** and subservient to your ideological, social engineering nightmare. Bring back our freedom of choice, just like we have in real life.

You’re absolutely right. Grindr, your disgusting attempts at social engineering are doomed to failure. I’m giving you 1 week to rectify this l, or deleting your app and cancelling my subscription.

I’m latino and like Asians and other Latinos, my preferences will not be ***** to your “morals”. You’re a social tyrants and GIGANTIC ******** for doing this just to cater to a lunatic, fringe movement of other social tyrants and domestic terrorists. Change now, or you will be (RIGHTFULLY) replaced.

I was told that ethnic preferences are removed from grindr now. Now your taking away my rights. It's not being racist It's a preference, just if I liked only guys with blonde hair and blue eyes. I paid for a full membership so I could use the filters. And now I'm being forced to scroll thru people I'm not attracted to.. your only doing it because you don't wanna lose business.. well guess what, I won't be paying for grindr once my membership runs out..

The recent decision to remove certain search criteria by ethnicity is pointless. Just because a person is attracted to a Latino or Asian man does not make that person racist. Each individual still has the ability to add profile headers and some say black men only, white bottoms only, TS/CD only. If your decision to remove search criteria by ethnicity I would think you would not allow this type of verbiage in a person's profile. The response to my original inquiry about this stated that this was removed and black lives matter specifically noted. If we all do not support the fact that ALL lives matter and equal rights should be for everyone regardless of race or religion then there will never be unity. Supporting rights by ethnicity or religion segregates ourselves and causes a greater divide.

I subscribed to grindr xtra for the sole purpose of being able to use the ethnicity filter and now you remove it? I demand my money back
