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.”

First, they convinced too many that "freedom of choice" was actual Freedom.
Now they must condition people to believe that their "freedom" (of choice) is a bad thing that must be reigned in for the better good (other people).
I’m sorry but I thought deciding whom one will date and possibly marry was all about being discriminating.
This is an article from the BRIT paper THE GUARDIAN, so when they say “ASIAN”, they mean Muslims from the Middle East and Pakistan...NOT ethnic Chinese, Japanese, Korean types.
Hey, when they start forcing hot chicks to date fat, old guys, make sure I get pinged here!
I don’t buy THOSE products either!!!
I’m really too old to worry about it, but I’d just NOT use dating apps if they tried to force me to date someone that I did not want to...period.
It’s an internet app...not a Federal law.
SPOT ON !

At last someone is waking up to how the high abortion rate, lower birth rates,and delaying marriage (or not marrying at all) is having a detrimental impact on this country’s demographics.
Oh wait.
So I am a racist if only consider white women as potential dates?
Sheesh.
They will do anything they can to dilute the white race. Every race in the world has straight or wavy hair except the one with nothing but kink! Go figga!!

The social media sites did everything they could to attract people to use their sites. Now they want to manipulate people and HOW they use their sites.
See where this is going?
Gorillas are apes. Just so you know.
Almost beyond comprehension at this point The left is totally whacked out of their minds.
I didn’t realize I am somehow biased just because I don’t want to date a woman who looks like Idi Amin.
WTH are you on about?
Yep, from Russia and Ukraine, mostly.
