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.

What Mike said! Please bring back the ethnicity filter. It’s not racism to have a preference, just like it’s not ageist to have an age preference, and it’s not gender discrimination to just want to date guys.

I noticed the ability to search by Ethnicity is gone. That is absurd. Honestly, in a way it's grindr contributing to the core problem by creating a stigma around race. Is it wrong if I am a White man, but I like Latino men? No, that is not wrong. Is it a problem if I am a Black man that is looking for other Black men to connect with? No, that should not be a problem. It would not make me racist. It would make me comfortable. When you made the decision that searching by Ethnicity would no longer be an option, but that by Age, by Body Type, by Weight would be options. Well, that's Agist if I am searched by Age. It's a form of Body Shaming if I don't appear in a search because I am Slim. There is no difference. I have the ability in my profile to not list my Ethnicity, if I so choose. Therefore, if it's an option in the profile; then it should be an option to search by. I would have expected grindr to find better ways to show their support for #BLM.

Some people enjoy meeting people from
Different races, not to hate them but to love them, different people have different preferences, why should I pay for Xtra if I can’t use the only features that I like -

So annoyed it’s been taken away. Having a preference isnt racist and for POC trying to connect with each other now without the filter often non come up. I’m not renewing and I want my money back because this is why I upgraded in the first place

Your removal of ethnicity search has left my screen with a sea of white people. Once again, white privilege wins out. What a giant, misguided mistake on your part.

Grindr is absolutely ridiculous. What's next, they're gonna get rid of height and weight as to not offend short of overweight people? SMH

Thanks Grinder! Now you're forcing me to block non-caucasian users because of ****** preference. I find THAT more offensive since they did nothing to receive this treatment. But because I'm not sexually attracted to other skin colors (no, that doesn't make me a racist), you leave me no choice Grindr. SHAME ON YOU!

I am immediately going to cancel my subscription of Grindr. I can't believe you would have the audacity to remove this filter that we all paid for. I'm morbidly obese and I'm offended that there's a weight filter. GET RID OF IT! I'm also short, standing 5 feet tall. I'm offended by your height filter. GET RID OF IT! I'm also offended that there's a "Geek" option. That is offensive for us geeks. GET RID OF IT! In fact, remove all your filters. You're absolute garbage Grindr.

I'm a POC and its really ****** me off that you got ride of the ethnicity filter when I was using it to meet people of my own personal ethnic background, when there is a sea of just white/caucasian guys! Has your company even bothered talking or even asking the majority of your POC clients how they actual felt about the tab? I swear to god, ever single news article i've seen, those who complained about the tab still being there, were ALL WHITE! Do you even know or UNDERSTAND what is like to be a POC whose dating options of meeting someone of the same CULTURE/ETHNICITY who can SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE, HAVE THE SAME RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, who CAN UNDERSTAND THEM because WE COME FROM SIMILAR SITUATIONS is like! Talking to someone else who may not even come from the same ethnicity, or backgrounds would not AT ALL UNDERSTAND the struggle, how our lives have no parallels! There are POC who actual like to meet someone from their own background just as much there are POC who are wanting to meet other people from other different backgrounds BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR CHOICE! This isn't about preference or racism! This is clearly not understanding what the **** that small tab actually meant! Because if you're either South Asian or Middle Eastern; Hindu or Muslim; Vegetarian or Non Vegetarian you have very LIMITED number of apps you are able to use as an LGBTQIA+ community member! There are not apps for those who are of those backgrounds that have access to finding individuals of the same cultural background! P.s. I'm deleting my profile, my app, and NEVER coming back to grindr all because you "assumed that this will help stop racism on your app"
