I don't know how it worked before, but if guys who only check off "white" in their search let's say, will become invisible to ME also, I think it's a great feature. Then I'll know that the guys appearing in my grid won't reject me because of the colour of my skin - that's one unpleasantness out of the way and it would be a nice change.
We can't avoid THAT kind of discrimination anyway, it is perfectly sensible not to be into an entire continent for example, but most guys can't bring themselves to say "it's because you're (insert ethnic group)" so you're just put on hold, but if this feature is added in THIS way it'll just be a matter of "out of sight, out of mind."
We're segregating attitudes, that's how I look at it.
