I think to tackle this issue in modern day.
Grinder should bring the option back but automatically reset the filter to default every time the app is launched to encourage people to not screen by race among other filters of course.
I am also Asian and on some days I am looking for people to hang out with with my cultural background and on some days I want to hang out with adventurous people from different background- or course the filter helps and I read their Bio then decide. Now I just cant do anything.
This race problem actually is not as simple as removing race filter, Grindr. If you remove race why do you accept age or role or tribes filter? are those discrimination? what about location or gender? why allow a filter for those? You can see how outrageous it is to think racism is simply a race filter - it is not. By removing this filter, Grindr as a company is actually showing lack of understanding to discrimination.
