Hi. I think you're making a big mistake by eliminating the ability to screen by ethnicity. I suppose you mean well, but the reality is that most POCs use that screen to eliminate the possibility of the very racist abuse that your company says it's necessary to remove the filter to avoid. White South Africans are *very" racist, and if you live in a border racial residential area, you will get far more nonblack people than black people. You're basically exposing us to the potential for racist abuse by doing something that you think should result in the opposite. Did you all consult POCs in various countries before working to remove that filter? Or even POCs at your company who primarily associate with other POCs for safety reasons? Every black-identified black person I know is working, since the announcement, on trying to create other ways in social media to contact like minded people since Grindr is making it harder, especially during these lockdowns. I think you should reconsider the filter decision or make it in a country by country basis. I have lived in South America and Europe as well as the USA and South Africa. There are numerous reasons, that are safety related which limit who we can take around our neighborhoods, and removing the ability to meet people with that in mind has the potential to make things go pearshaped. So yeah, please reconsider. Thanks.
