Hey and wecome!

The no filter by race is a news to me and it's both amusing and shitty. What's next? Can't filter by weight because it's not body positive or is fatphobic?

This is my favourite take on it so far.

"It's racist for white people to filter out black or asian people, however this change is insensitive to people of colour who want to find other people of colour."

Unironically, yes. It is quite clear and logical that in the woke religion where "discrimination" is viewed as the ultimate evil, any preferences at all that disfavor "marginalized groups" will ultimately be seen as evil. This means, effectively, that it will be disallowed to filter potential partners by:

  • Race (if not excluding whites)
  • Weight (if not excluding thin people)
  • Attractiveness (if not excluding attractive people)
  • Wealth (if not excluding rich people)
  • Gender (if not excluding men)

You'll see disagreement here from the intersectionalists and the queer theorists - the queer theorists will want to break down ("queer") the categories and remove them entirely; the intersectionalists will want to "center authentic dating profiles" by giving a boost to poor, fat, unattractive transgender lesbians in the app targeted at gay men.

Sooo true.
