AS A PERSON WITH A B.A. IN SOCIAL WORK AND BACKGROUND IN SOCIAL JUSTICE: In my humble opinion of course...
To start you have categories AND filter for everything from what position people like, thier body type, how someone "acts", and wants to be called, picture no picture. Pretty much every judgmental physical feature EXCEPT a ethnicity filter! Not having this filter is not only a slap in the face to ALL of the PAID members, mind you, that have been making REPEATED comments and request about this in the place where OUR voices are suppose to be hear. After-all, this is the "WAYS TO MAKE GRIND BETTER" page that YOU send us to make suggestions and ways, and dare I say again, ways to make Grindr better! I mean WTF 🤯? We'll agree some request are just 🚀🤔🙄😴 but this is something more realistic since it once was an option.
I can understand that the removal of such filter was a well intend attempt of Grindr trying to be All Encompassing/Exclusive, Non-Bias, Not Being Able To Be Judged By Race, or Whatnot. You know be "Political Correct"! What they DO NOT realize that that are even MORE discriminating against those minority groups that rarely show up, because hate to break it to you Grindr but the majority of your members Paid or otherwise (that still make you 🤑) are WHITE! Not to mention discriminating against interracial interactions, friendship, and relationships. Whether those be sexual ones or otherwise! Like MANY other comments have stated: Some people like to interact with others that are different from themselves. That in itself is NOT racism or being racist Grindr. That is about what a person happens to be drawn and physically attracted to. Ever heard the saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"? Being racist is how you treat a person during an interaction with that said person. That is where a simply report (THAT EXISTS ALREADY) and / or the block the person!
