It doesn't have to be on the profile but we should be able to control who we show up to. So as a person of colour, I rather only see men who have ticked "Asian" as one of the types that they want to see. That way, I'm not getting racialized responses back. Would just make the search less humiliating or demoralizing by being able to message someone who is into your type. Racial preferences are inevitable and it would make it easier for POCs to not be subjected to rejection based on race more than we need to be. It isn't to expose anyone but it would make our search more effective.
