@Hhggg I believe anyone person stating that there are looking for or only into there own ethic group isn't the same as ." Not into Asian, whites, or blacks" or whatever. I don't agree with those types of statements in a profile;however, as I explained to close friends of a different ethnicity...anybody that solely and exclusive dates only within is different discussion then a person disqualifying certain groups as suitable based on ethnicity. " not into certain ethnicities" vs "only into my ethnicity" isn't
the issue being discussed but it's apart of the bigger picture. I wish the option was removed from the profile settings as a characteristics or way of describing one's self. That is my issue..but I do believe it is a could call for an app that has paid subscribers of all walks of life, to remove that filter or discriminatory convenience. If a person isn't interested in someone who shows interest,for whatever reason simply don't reply.Alfred Phifer

I find it interesting that anyone would claim having the ethnicity filter necessary. Especially as a minor. Just look at a picture, that tells you all you need to know about the person's ethnicity, generally. Why does it even matter or what purpose would an ethnicity filter have in a " dating" app? I don't see the importance or relevance at all. Other then a discriminatory factor.
Don't bring back the ethnicity filter. This has been an issue for me since day one. If we ever aim cultivate a community of understanding and a truly inclusive community, ethnicity, race, and anything else that doesn't reflect character or physical appears, allows racial rooted discrimination within the community. I date need a flirter to tell me what a profile picture or the profile text can. I vote No
My bad, I was thinking this topic was about something else intirely. My main issue is with ethnicity being a option in profile settings as though ethnicity is a characteristics or physical appearance. I did not know that you could filter search results by ethnicity. That is horrible to me. There is no excuse for such a thing...discriminatory convenience?! Can you walk into a room and just remove any ethnicity you disappove of as suitable for your interests? No. Grindr,( any dating app) in my view should be treated the same way for the betterment of the community. It my be convenient but it's also a discriminatory factor based in racism that shouldn't be downplayed. The Asain guy saying that looking for other Asians to hangout with, inhaveca question..are you that bothered by seeing other profiles? I'm sorry but who spoiled are we nowadays? I respect his view; however,it's still not useful to the overall good of the community. I think too many fail to recognize, Grindr is a community with gay culture. The way we conduct ourselves and most importantly the manner in which the platform engages to set boundaries that limit or remove anything that gives way to discrimination and futher deteratition of the communityas a whole ,should evolve into beung more inclusive and tolerant.
