As a black man, the removal of this feature has made things more difficult for me not better. I am gay, black and live in a very small Midwest town, a place that makes being gay hard enough but being black AND gay nearly unbearable. The ethnicity filter used to allow me to find a safe space of fellow gay POC that I could communicate with and share our similar experience when trying to find other gay POC out in the town is not an option. With the ethnicity filter gone, this safe space has been eliminated. My grinder app looks just like everything else in my town, and had made it made it impossible to easily find new friends. Also, I don’t only date other POC, I am attracted to all ethnicities, so this isn’t even a sexual preference thing, it’s just the elimination of a feature that used to provide me an easy way to seek out others that could support each other though common experience.
