    I have to travel for work. Granted, not as much due to COVID, but its still "a must" for my job. As a person of color, I find it frustrating that this filter has been removed.

    Sometimes I use this filter to find and connect with other people of color who can give me tips on simple things like, where can I find a local barber who knows how to cut/style my type of hair, where can I navigate safely in the area, where can I go to get products/services specific to me, or which areas can I go to where I'll be welcome.

    I find it short-sighted for Grinder to have arbitrarily removed this filter without considering that it was a nice tool on one of the few platforms popular enough that it actually helped like-individuals to network and share information relevant to their ethnicity group...at least it use to.

    Its already hard enough for some groups to effectively find each other and network. Although I understand the good intentions behind removing the filter, the actual effect of this policy just imposes a hardship on minority communities who are just trying to stay connected. Ever hear of adverse impact?

    Clearly, this was a well intended but poorly thought out decision that was probably made in an "ivory" tower without solicitating diverse feedback.

    However, I can't help but to point out that its still perfectly fine for the app to filter out people who are too old, too short, too heavy, too trans or too positive. Make it make sense. And, because I know you can't make sense of it, just reverse this ill thought out policy.

  2. Have a way to filter out bots solicitation and scams
