A billboard for a dating website solely for white people has been pulled from a roadside in Utah after a storm of complaints.

The ad for the controversial site Where White People Meet first appeared in West Valley City on New Year's Day.

On Tuesday, after a national backlash, the billboard company Compass Billboards has decided to remove it - and will not let the site renew its contract with them.

However, a spokesman for Where White People Meet tweeted that the site is determined to find another spot for the billboard.

'It was NOT our decision to pull the billboard… What a shame,' the tweet read on Tuesday.

1. What a weird way for people to respond

Of course people use dating websites to fit their demographic. There are dating sites for specific genders and sexual orientations as well.

2. Why?

Are people not allowed to have preferences that extend to race, or is it just white people?

For the record, this site doesn't prohibit non-white users.
