Questions:

– How do dating apps help perpetuate racist biases? How do they do this? Are you surprised by this? Why/why not?

– If you have participated in online dating, does this reflect your experience with the apps?

– What recommendations would you make to the creators of this app to avoid these problems?

– Do you think apps targeted towards members of the LGBTQ+ community are doing a better or worse job with these issues? Why?
