I noticed the ability to search by Ethnicity is gone. That is absurd. Honestly, in a way it's grindr contributing to the core problem by creating a stigma around race. Is it wrong if I am a White man, but I like Latino men? No, that is not wrong. Is it a problem if I am a Black man that is looking for other Black men to connect with? No, that should not be a problem. It would not make me racist. It would make me comfortable. When you made the decision that searching by Ethnicity would no longer be an option, but that by Age, by Body Type, by Weight would be options. Well, that's Agist if I am searched by Age. It's a form of Body Shaming if I don't appear in a search because I am Slim. There is no difference. I have the ability in my profile to not list my Ethnicity, if I so choose. Therefore, if it's an option in the profile; then it should be an option to search by. I would have expected grindr to find better ways to show their support for #BLM.
