    I was surprised recently that the profiles showing up were so different from my regular choices. I didn’t realize the filter had been changed, till I checked my settings.
    I have been an active user for about 8 years, and an Xtra (paying) member at least 1/2 that time, Grindr has been my favorite gay app.
    I also participated in one of the “office opinion poll interviews” about 2 years ago.
    The ethnicity filter has been significant for me as my preference is basically everything OTHER THAN WHITE.
    It seems like it works well in many ways, both for guys who have ethnic preferences, and for ethnicities who prefer hooking up with their own race.
    If this policy were extended, then weight, or height, or age, or sex preference, could all be considered forms of discrimination, couldn’t they? If the policy started removing those preferences, before too long there would be no appropriate stats, so no need for profiles.
    For those who don’t like the filter, they have access to a “not specified” filter, if they don’t want to be “labeled” ((my guess would be they are, by far, the “minority”,[not to be racist] if a members’s poll were taken))
    Or, why not create a filter, FOR THOSE OFFENDED by the ethnic choices, that blocks being viewed by any profile the expresses racial preferences. Then let’s see how they feel about 2/3 of the people on Grindr NOT VIEWING THEM.
    If this will continue as

    If this will continue as a filter, then I too want a refund for 11/12ths of my Xtra membership was just renewed, Oct. 20th. If I had known, one month ago, that this was going to be a policy, I would NOT HAVE renewed my membership❗️
    I will be fine as a free, probably infrequent user.
    The other apps all still allow the option for ethnicity. My guess is that many of us opposed to this filter will probably be using the other apps more, and Grindr can become the app only for white boys, or those who are only attracted to white boys.
    I think I’ve fairly distinctly expressed my opinion against having this filter.
