I’m a black guy on Grindr and not only does this annoy me to the extreme but it also hurts that when I message guys that are outside my race (white/caucasian) friendly hellos & or compliments, I RARELY ever get responses from them and it always leads me to thinking otherwise. Not calling the app or anyone on it racist, but there’s no other explanation for it when this continues to keep happening. I get we all have our “preferences” and such, but if there is a certain race you’re attracted to it should be made KNOWN in description or at least in a filter instead of posing as someone you’re not and blatantly ignoring/blocking others for no specified reason. Not only is it rude it’s very indecent. Please make Grindr a BETTER place for all people of color to feel accepted and respected.
