Dating applications can allow users to fall into their own racial biases while searching for a partner, a new study says.
But in their study, researchers from schools like Cornell University say the “sexual racism” that plagues apps like Grindr, Tinder and Bumble can be stamped out with a few simple changes. The end goal, the study says, is to promote more diverse pairings on the dating sites.
Jevan Hutson, lead author of the study, said in a press release from Cornell University that “it’s really an unprecedented time for dating and meeting online” — which requires a more thorough look at how we can prevent discrimination on these dating apps.
“More people are using these apps, and they’re critical infrastructures that don’t get a lot of attention when it comes to bias and discrimination,” he said in the press release. “Intimacy is very private, and rightly so, but our private lives have impacts on larger socioeconomic patterns that are systemic.”
“Over the years I’ve had some pretty harrowing experiences,” Keodara told The Guardian. “You run across these profiles that say ‘no Asians’ or ‘I’m not attracted to Asians’. Seeing that all the time is grating; it affects your self-esteem.”

Next thing you know straight men not wanting to date a trans will be called an issue.
Oh. Wait.
Jesus needs to return really soon.
Black men prefer white women too.
Why? Why bother?
Oh good grief, PC and stupidity are tireless enemies of mankind...
Yup, force white chicks to date black guys... George Orwell would be chuckling right now, he totally underestimated just how right he was.
Stop!! Don’t give these people any more ideas!
Why don’t these professors set up a dating site and prove to everyone how successful their theories are.
Oh my. Date that fag or else.
How about that. Judging by all the TV commercials, I thought everyone had a mixed marriage.
We live in the world as outlined below:
Black people preferring other Black people on dating sites = Not betraying their race.
Any non-white person preferring another non-white member of their same race on dating sites = Not betraying their race.
White people preferring other White people on dating sites = RACIST!!!!! ARREST THEM AT ONCE!!!!
Everyone wants to date hot people. Race is, at best, a secondary or tertiary consideration. Crap articles like this are designed to instill guilt.
Lame.
Once you go white you never....oh, wait
...
Honk if you hate this planet ...
No kidding!! Seems like EVERY ad has a Mixed Marriage.....but those are NEVER the DUMB DAD...,it’s always the WHITE DAD that is a TOTAL DOOFUS in the ads! I refuse to but those products!
Scuse me while I whip....oh, wait.... that’s not it either.
Intimacy is very private, and rightly so, but our private lives have impacts on larger socioeconomic patterns that are systemic...
Who cares I’ll date who I want and not be told who to date to keep the world order.
It is called preference and not discrimination.
I’m 70 years old. Any of you 30 something year old women want to date me. No. Then, you are discriminating against me because of age.
YOU MAY BE CALLED A "SEXUAL ASSAULTER".
* And even be careful INSIDE of marriage.
