making an economic decision to make more money is different than making an identitarian decision to hurt a group you dont like.
So are you saying that Tinder doesn't charge more for these cohorts?

You keep repeating that, but did anyone say that?
This makes me suspicious that what's really going on is they are offering a lower price to those most in demand. It's in their interest to have more desirable prospects show up.

I guess I'm just curious as to what would compel someone to be so pedantic about something like this, unless they're just that willing to go to bat for a company who is obviously discriminating against these groups.

It's in their best interest for less desirable prospects to show up and keep paying for Tinder Gold. Desirable prospects will leave the platform; they're valuable for marketing the platform, but are not valuable as customers.
It definitely creates some perverse incentives. It is in their best interest to not show you your best matches.

Can you describe how that's any different from saying "Tinder charges more for young gays, lesbians and the over-30s"?

Yet these are recognized by straight people as racism, but straight people don’t recognize, let’s be fair, anything at all as discrimination against gay people.
When is it OK to charge different cohorts of users different prices? Why is it ok in some instances, and not in others?
If we charged white hetero males (of which I am one) more than everyone else, would that be OK because they are NOT part of a minority?
To give a bit of context of how I'm looking at this for our business, we're in the sleep tech space, and lack of sleep is a huge issue in the African American community due to socio-economic reasons. I've got some designs on how we can offer African Americans a lower price on our product than other user groups. I doubt there would be a "backlash" because it's a discount, rather than an increase in price...which is really just perspective...
