Over the course of 10 years, 23 Bachelors and Bachelorettes have looked for love on ABC's hit reality franchise – each one of whom was white. And that, a lawsuit alleges, is no accident.
This is a civil rights issue, state New York Civil Rights Lawyers. ABC has engaged in conduct deliberately excluding persons of color.
Two African-American former college football players, answered an open casting call for The Bachelor in Nashville last August. They claim they were rushed through the audition process dismissively while observing white applicants treated with greater attention.
In every job opportunity, you are looking to at least have a chance to compete for that job. Whenever you feel you are treated unfair or unjust, you are going to speak out.
The lawsuit alleges that ABC knowingly, intentionally and as a matter of corporate policy refused to cast people of color in the role of the Bachelor and Bachelorette.
Warner Horizon Television, which produces the shows, calls the lawsuit baseless and without merit. They go on to state that they have had various participants of color throughout the series' history, and the producers have been consistently – and publicly – vocal about seeking diverse candidates for both programs. They maintain that they do continue to seek out participants of color for both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
