Well…that’s very naive. The programmers (and inventor) are White. Do you think they don’t have any bias? It’s their idea of attractiveness that’s programmed into the dating app. As men, they represent a patriarchal view. The one woman founder was Ms. Wolfe who was “subjected to a barrage of horrendously sexist, racist, and otherwise inappropriate comments, emails and text messages” before quitting the company.

Nature and society play their part in reinforcing the bias of the men who run Tinder.
