But the case is stronger than that. NOT having the ethnicity filter is racist. Many, if not most, used the filter to actively seek out minorities and include them, not to exclude them. Grindr had to have an awfully poor opinion of its own users to think otherwise. But eliminating the filter, all I see now on my screen is a sea of white. I'm white myself but this isn't what I want to see. I want to be able to share love with my beautiful black brothers and Asian brothers and Middle Eastern brothers, etc. It's stupid and wrong to assume that a filter itself is racist. People who used it that way are the minority and will continue to exclude. By taking away the filter you did nothing to stop that. All you did was make it harder TO INCLUDE.
Bring back the ethnicity filter, Grindr! Stop supporting exclusion!!
Yes, this was the worst decision Grindr ever made, to remove options and functionality even for paying customers..it shows they lack basic respect for their own users. Pathetic. I have never thought of Grindr the same after this huge mistake of removing the ethnicity filter. As if the only way to use it is to discriminate instead of using it to include. It's just an instrument. Rather than Grindr trusting it's users to be adults and use the filter correctly, they disrespect us and treat us like children. Awful.
