A new Cornell University study on dating found several examples of inequalty in dating apps, including:
-White people of “all ages” prefer to go on dates with other white people.
-Asian men and black women have the lowest chance of receiving a message or a response.
-College students are most likely to avoid going on dates with black women.
Jevan Hutson, lead author of the study, said in a press release 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.
Dating applications can allow users to fall into their own racial biases while searching for a partner, the study says.
Researchers from 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.
As noted by the study — which compiled data from prior research — white people are ten times more likely to receive a message from a black person on a dating app than they are to message the black user themselves. That suggests a hierarchy of attention on racial lines.

No, this is not a piece from the Onion, this is a real article from McClatchy. This is how crazy PC culture has become- an Ivy League university is spending money to try to prevent white people from choosing each other on dating apps. They're not even trying to hide it anymore people.
