Lack of Reality Show Bachelor Diversity Haunts America As A Hidden Injustice


In the past eight years, ABC's The Bachelor has delighted audiences with the promise of romance, hidden turns, and suspenseful rose ceremonies. Yet a hidden injustice lies in the producer's decisions, based on the fact that all fourteen bachelors have been wealthy, attractive, and white.

"This is a disgrace, this is a travesty," author Willy Johnson told local media covering a protest outside of The Bachelor's set. "What is the network trying to tell us? I will tell you the message it sends: that unless you are a rich and muscular white dude who happens to be a pilot, naval officer, or tire manufacturer, you don't have a chance with America's beautiful women!"

Neither ABC nor the producers of The Bachelor could be reached for comment.
