    Btw, What is with the Ethnicity filter being removed?

    I can only suspect that ethnicity filter has been removed because of the generalised “racism” being the hot topic right now.

    Ironically speaking all of those filters including age, body type just to name a few, already represent a “bias in a diff sort”.

    The biggest irony is Grindr is being portrayed as the top “gay/trans/bi” platform (pretty much biased in itself. So righteous fully, why would this not be a sexism in itself already by discriminating females or lesbians or the “straights”? Just saying...

    It is NOT the personal preferences that make a person a racist. It is rather how you treat others starting from how you greet or politely decline any conversation shall you not want to be engaged.

    Just like food preferences, some may like Italian or French or Mexican or Asian or spicy or non spicy or other cuisines. Just because you may not find a particular cuisine delicious (or being “attractive” in the context of “dating” world), it does NOT make you a racist. It’s just simply a matter of personal preferences. The filters are designed to help users to narrow down the list of people one would be interested to engage in. Nothing more than than that. To generalise ethnicity filter as racism = simply dumb and obviously it is a waste of time trawling through the endless list of people you may not even be interested to “date” with.

    At least, Grindr should provide an option for the users to either cancel theIr full extra subscription & refund the money for the waste of time going through the endless list or re-state the filter?

  2. Please restore ethnicity filter

    Ironically speaking all of those filters including age, body type represent a “racism in a diff sort”. The biggest irony is then Grindr should be open not only for the “gays”. Would this not be a sexism on its own right by excluding females or lesbians or the “straights”? Just saying...
