It’s extremely difficult to date as an Asian in the us. The traditional dating sites and apps refuse to implement finer grained Asian ethnicity filters, so more than 80% of our effort on apps that do let us click “Asian” such as Coffee meets bagels is spent simply trying to decipher whether the person is from Hong Kong, mainland China, or Taiwan, or some other random East Asian country.<p>Tinder is basically useless as it refuses to allow us to filter by only Asians.<p>Not to mention as an Asian in the USA, after you locate a person who is from the same place you are, you then additionally need to decipher how westernized they are. It’s sometimes obvious in the profiles, but this is all quite annoying.<p>The (single) Asian market in the USA is still not large enough to sustain an app that allows finer grained choices. I wonder when someone will realize that a small shop with just couple engineers could swoop in here and make an impact that economically viable for them too.
