Although I totally appreciate and respect the gesture of deleting the ethnicity filter, especially during this heightened time of awareness about racism and bigotry, this is a short-sighted fix. The Grindr app is full of exclusionary filters (i.e. body type, sero status, "tribes"). An app that is designed to shrink the field of profiles so that users can isolate what they're looking for is the essence of the app. Trying to pacify a desire related to race because it's the major issue of the day is patronizing and counterproductive on this platform. Whether it's a gender identity preference, relationship status preference, proximity preference, orientation preference, or racial/ethnic preference, users want to maximize their viewable profiles and engage with others users that most likely fit their desires. Attractions that may be connected to race, ethnicity, origin, language, etc are not inherently problematic, and removing the option forces users to subscribe to a notion that Grindr has determined for us. If ethinicity and race aren't acceptable categories, then neither is any other filter. Force us to see only the 100 guys in our immediate area with no regard to preference, and see how long you'll keep your clients. I've been a Grindr XTRA member for many years, and I'm paying for the choices the subscription affords me. Without full control of my choices, the subscription is of no value. This needs to be resolved; I will not continue my subscription otherwise.
