There is a lawsuit against ABC News filed by haniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson who claimed they were treated differently treated differently than white contestants when they auditioned for “The Bachelor” at a casting call in Nashville this past August. Johnson says he was turned away and not allowed to audition at all, while Claybrooks says his audition time was cut notably short in comparison to other white contestants.
The show has been almost lily white since its inception and perhaps the focus is to find matches for white people. Being America, culturally mixed marriages may still be frowned upon and maybe the media do not want to encourage it. The point is let the people choose for themselves. I am sure if there is a Black or Latino man, there will be a lot of women participating because these men can be quite attractive to women - the proverbial, tall dark and handsome - has quite the appeal.
When would we be people without all these hangups? When will be shed this age old conditioning that tells us we are so different when we are branches of one tree. It is so sickening and tiring to fight this battle of racism all the time.
