Abstract
This study explored racialized preferential language (RPL) use on dating apps among men who have sex with men. Analyses of 561 participant surveys elucidated relationships among openness to multicultural experiences, RPL use, acceptability ratings, and racial identity. Implications of RPL as a manifestation of racism or sexual liberty are discussed.
