I, along with everyone else using this app, want each user to have a pleasant and safe experience online. A part of that experience heavily relies on the end user's ability to spend more time connecting with others who they may feel are a match and less time browsing faceless, incomplete, profiles. Corporate has determined that filtering on ethnicity is racist in nature but fails to address other area's that could lead to shaming/harassment (i.e., body type, age, etc.). If we are asked what our ethnicity is, but can't filter/search by it, what's the point? More time should be spent on filter out bots/scammers than if someone is looking for someone who is either the same or different ethnicity.
