    People are people. On your logic, this platform is currently discriminatory on the grounds of *** (women are excluded), gender identity, and age (among others). Maybe someone will go to the general social media or the press with a story that Grindr Is sexist, genderist, and ageist, while it has rapidly removed ethnicity filters to be simply politically correct without thinking it through properly. Having an ethnicity filter is not racist, there is no special racial privilege, and it does not lead to hate crimes.
    Your approach h should be evidence-based: how many complaints had you had insisting the filter be removed because it was racist. Precious few, I suspect, if any.
    I think platforms that keep ethnicity filters will over time increase their market share from Grindr.
    So please bring it back, for our sakes and yours.

    How about a compromise? Allow ethnicity filters for dates and right now (which are linked to ****** attraction and are not racist) but remove them for friends, chat, and networking (which are not necessarily linked to attraction and therefore could be deemed racist).
