Almost everyone stated that they would never swipe right on someone of a different race."

Some were hesitant to confess that they tend not to swipe right on other races.

"Nevertheless, some interviews were more radical in terms of racial preferences. 24-years-old Polina says about her preferences:"
"That is my private, maybe racial preferences. But I have never been on dates with Asians--not my type. I do not think I would go on a date even if he were from my community."
"When asked if she would go on a date with a person of a different race, 23-years-old Ekaterina comments:"
"I swipe right people from different countries here, in Moscow. I like this experience. But I would not swipe people of specific race or nationalities. Asians or Indians. Because I do not sexually prefer them, and they do not attract me to create a bond with them."
