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.

I'm not being Racist i respect everyone but what about our own opinion for example we only prefer for dating asian guys or only white guys or only black guys ???
Not for being rude but i paid for Grindr extra just because for the Ethnicity filter !!!!!!!!
It's not fair at all !!!!
Are we not allowed now to have our own type or preference !?!?!?!?!??!?
This is not fair at all this will not solve anything -

The ethnicity filter should be still useable. You have removed it with no explanation other than to leave users to assume it has been done due to current BLM movement etc. Yes racial discrimination exists and I detest anyone for this. However having an ethnicity filter allows users to search for persons they are attracted to by cultural background. Just because I am attracted to say Asian guys, it does not mean I am racist to other ethnic/racial backgrounds as I like all persons no matter what race, ethnicity etc, it is solely that I am Sexually attracted to Asian guys for their cultural backgrounds etc. Please bring back the filter or you will loose this user as a customer along with many others.

Need the Ethnicity option back, that was one of the reasons I upgraded. This is no good!!
Specifying a preference Isn't prejudice. Why must I waste my time endlessly scrolling down. When I can norrow it down and select my ethnicity preference??!!

The only reason why I paid for Grindr was to be able to use the ethnicity filter. I won’t be renewing my subscription unless it is restored.

I agree totally. I feel that the racial filter is no different than filtering out fat guys. Maybe all I want to see on a certain day is Latino. Or Asian. Or Black. Now I feel that this new “non filter” is just wrong. This is not about racism. It’s about ****** attraction. And it’s about grindr getting us to pay more for unlimited searches so we can expand the search area beyond 12 miles.

What idiot removed the option to sort by race. Did a snowflake complain? Please reinstate that search option or I’m cancelling. Stupid move on your part!!

I paid for extra and used it to find others like me. I’m Asian living among non-Asians. I feel lonely and can’t find others like me. And now you’ve removed the feature that caused me to PAY for a subscription

Not everyone is interested in everyone. If your only allowed to see so many people I. A selection only 1/5 is the one I am considering someone to be with. Please bring back the race feature. It’s a preference not a stance on profiling.

Google search it. They removed because they are kowtowing to BLM.

This will be the last month I pay if you don’t add the feature back. There are not many perks of paying outside of the search parameters.

All you’re doing is forcing us to block people to get to our preference rather than allowing us to filter to our preference.

Hi - I am a black man and i don't feel an ethnicity filter that has anything to do with BlackLivesMatter. There is an issue around objectification of some men but that is all down to how one is approached. I filter black men because I want to connect with other black men - as a preference - this is at no offence or disrespect to other races. I imagine an asian or a white person might legitimately want to do the same. I will now cancel my Grindr Xtra subscription as it no longer of use to me.
This is a real example of people making decisions without understanding of the real issues involved with BlackLivesMatter - which are racism and privilege. There is no problem with people being different - we cannot pretend we are all the same - however the issue is about giving people respect regardless of difference.
If you saying that that ethnicity feature encourages racism in a minority....well by removing it they win because you are also taking away a facility that allows people to connect WITH RESPECT to the kind of men they are attracted to.
The decision has nothing to do with blacklivesmatter. If people are allowed to search around, age, weight, ****** position they should be able to search around ethnicity - please reconsider

I understand why in response to today’s climate — and I agree someone shouldn’t be able to say outwardly, “not into xxxxxx” — but Say, if you are really really into black men or latinos or Asian guys (Almost exclusively) you should be able to filter out the rest. There are a ton of white guys in every area and it’s tough to find what you’re looking for. It’s a good idea but in practice it doesn’t work.
