Spoiler alert: I have NEVER seen a Black/Latino/Asian/Native American gay man say that on any dating/hookup app. EVER.

Since when has OkCupid been "Upscale"? Lol, and still, when your idea of racial discrimination is focused on dating sites, you're reaching for a controversy.

At some people you just stop caring.
I view the white LGBT community as a separate entity altogether.
Might as well call it the mainstream community.
I mean there's a reason the Stonewall movie stars a white protagonist and it isn't because of artistic freedom.

Ace Reject clocking and sweeping in this thread
We had Black Pride yesterday and there was less than 3,000 attendees. Pride brings out over 120k people. While it's understandable that more people show up to the less specific, general celebration, the disparity in attendance is kind of disappointing.

This is true. But the latter is only ever seen on GRINDR. Never have I ever seen something on television where a gay male says "No blacks/Asians/Hispanics". I only see that type of thing said on Grindr and that is not an issue, in my mind. What dumbasses say on Grindr shouldn't be considered an issue.

Grindr guys are real people too. They have this mind set already, and they will bring it to other situations in life.

Either that or you'll get facebook posts like

I want to briefly touch the point of why blacks are homophobic. By the way, if you don't have an open mind and are too ignorant to consider any point that you haven't been exposed to stop reading now. Spare me the "you're a SJW, just like TUMBLR !!!11" posts. Only inept people who can't comprehend basic concepts say stuff like that.
The black church is one of the main components why homophobia is seen to be more rampant in the community, that among other reasons of course. But you have to think about how the black church was formed. It was formed after slave masters forced their slaves to attend church and it brain washed them. That was the purpose, to brain wash the slaves. Till this day that's what it does. That's why I refuse to practice Christianity because it's a slave master religion. In all essence, homophobia is taught and it was taught via religion. The slave masters taught homophobia to the slaves essentially. Those ideas are still kept in the black community despite legal advancements for LGBT people. Also, there is the idea of hyper-masculinity and misogyny that contributes to homophobia in the black community. But those again stem from slavery. Many different regions in the world were open to ideas of different sexualities and genders until imperialism and colonization occurred. But my main point is, black Americans are basically homophobic because white people taught them to be. I already know some of you are pissing yourselves to this comment but I don't know what to tell you. It's just facts and common sense.

What I love about racist gays is like...how in the **** do you think you have the NERVE to discriminate against people when you're a minority yourself. (I also think it's just as unbelievable @ homophobic minorities, but that's not what this thread is about!)
Anyway, I do think it's really upsetting that the only time minorities seem to be brought up is to either be the punchline of the joke, or someone's fetish. I particularly wish that Asian discrimination was more visible, but I realize part of the reason why it's not is because Asians, culturally, are not very confrontational.

I'm glad the white community which is the majority in the US has been so accepting of Gays for decades.

oh plz you know there is a clear difference from whites being homophobic and blacks being homophobic, one group has a history of oppression and one would think they would be more sympathetic towards other oppressed minorities.

This.
And I saw someone say that having preferences is racist. I completely disagree with that.

It's because we are racial minorities and and sexual minorities. There is exclusion from everywhere we go. LGBT exclusion because we aren't white. Exclusion from our race because we aren't straight. And yes, once you add religion it gets even worst. Intersectionality is a bitch.

yup homophobia is western disease, black people should learn about how the bible was used to justify slavery and sagregation.

do you know what racism is? you don't have to HATE, you just have to treat people of color like they're not in your league.

you have such a naive view of racism.
it's not all about "hate" like calling someone the n-word. in fact, i'd call that a mild form of racism compared to what we're discussing here, people of color being lumped together and dismissed as undesirable.

It's a sex app of course it's not going to be politically correct.

but there's a clear difference between "looking for white guy" and "no blacks or asians" the latter is racism.

I'm friends with a two East-Asian gay guys and they've told me some stories that make me so embarrassed of the gay community here However I think that South Asian gays have it the worst, easily.
Having said that, we're a lot more accepting of minorities than many of the racial/ethnic minorities are of homosexuality, so that's something
