We need a Asian Bachelors

They need more black women on the shw

Rachel was my favorite bachelorette. What a queen!!

I’m so glad she went on the bachelor because were so blessed to have someone like her

We need an honest and outspoken person apart of the franchise not eager to kiss ABC’s ass like all of the other cast members have been. Her season was the best because of these qualities. Glad that she’s doing the work as the only black lead! Unfortunate she’s the only one tho. Love her

I love that Rachel is outspoken and a very smart person .

i’m pissed that mike isn’t the bachelor so that’s on that

Rachel was my favorite Bachelorette! So nice to hear her perspective and see she's doing well.

she is one of the most outspoken bachelorettes, even reality tv stars that uses her platform to shed light on important issues

They need more Latinas in the show too.

No one asked for Colton as bachelor..

Brian has grown on me! Love these two and Rachel’s honesty is so refreshing.

Bryan is so hot

I would have liked to see mike be bachelor nothing to do with his race, just felt his personality and attitude would fit the show.

She's extremely intelligent, eloquent, and beautiful!! love her

I do believe that we won’t see another black lead . And why is the interviewer asking the same questions?

Thank you for talking about this!

Mike as a choice was based on popularity by the people. Chris Harrison even stated that he was the most talked about. I'm done with this franchise. Same boring premeditated lines same boring no personality fake people.

Yeah Peter is very Plain looking no offense he seemed nice but I think if Mike was the bachelor they would have gotten more viewers. Taysia should have been chosing last yeah honestly. They need to see more diverse people an Asian girl, Indian or Latina shake it up a little people

Shes right. It's TRUE and that's really sad, especially from a franchise who claims go be sooo "woke" and "progressive" it has had many opportunities and chose not to.

The interviewer could've asked better questions. Her comments and questions were repetitive.

I want to see Rachel on Survivor. She would be so great at it.

I like Rachel's transparency

Pilot Pete is safe and appeals to their target audience. Women who watch the Bachelor want a man they can see themselves with, I think that's why most didn't care about Rachel being casted as Bachelorette. I think there could be another Bachelorette that's at least part black. I think the Bachelorette will be very diverse before the Bachelor gets anyone that's not white (yes, Juan Pablo is white and latino).

Why was everyone so convinced Mike should've been the bachelor? I saw no personality, no chemistry with Hannah, getting involved in drama with the guys, and being manipulative by using his tragedy as a way to connect with the lead. Did I miss something? I personally think it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with lack of television appeal.

also in general. I would appreciate more of an explanation from whoever makes the final decision, why mike wasnt chosen or just in general. if there is a favorite why they weren't chosen. They could at least give us some answers. At the very least.

Rachel, the bachelorette we needed but didn't deserve. Same with Mike. we needed him so badly but this franchise sure didn't deserve him, especially with their history.

So true, I mean they went with the same old same told, which is boring and I probably won't watch. Unless Rach talks about it on Bachelor Hour Podcast

and now we have Tayshia Adams. OMG. She's so class.

As always...well said Rachel.🙌🏽

They need to add diversity soon before they start really losing viewers. Most of the girls on Peters season are white and blonde so hopefully none of them get the bachelorette position. Also Rachel does know that Sienne has a boyfriend

Love this great couple!!!!!

Okay but what about other races??? Out of all the casts every time they only include one asian man/women and most of the time they don't make it last night one. Same with latinos/latinas with the exception of Juan Pablo, who wasn't white and people throw him under the rug all the time. Diversity doesn't mean just a black lead, its other races as well.

The don’t even have didn’t nationality people on the bachelor or bachelorette except Bryan n Rachel

Rachel is probably right. Obviously they made the right choice to pick Rachel (and next to Trista the most serious one ever), but idk. Maybe it was a one time stunt. And honestly i would like to see a Asian or Latina bachelor(ette) at this point. Let's close this chapter.

There WILL be another person of color for either Bachelor and/or Bachelorette.

I think the bachelorettes kept choosing the same face as well, may be that's why? Even Rachel chose a white guy.

I wanted Mike to be the bachelor so bad! I was cheering so hard for him. He was perfect for the role. I like Peter but there's no diversity with the franchise anymore. Thank goodness for Rachel.

So the thing is...its not silly. We could make the same argument about tv shows and magazines. As important as it got Asian, Latin and AA to see them selves on these forums its also impt for ppl from say Iowa, who may rarely encounter a person of color to see them as well. Lest, the assumption be that "only white people" should be and are qualified to be in these roles as they translate to real life.

What about an asian lead?

Mike is in relationship leave it alone

True Rachel they gave Mike a rotten deal. Won't be watching the new episode

I'm black and I've always said they picked her because she's socialized white. She grew up in an affluent area, her parents are professionals, she's educated and highly accomplished. She was open to marrying a non-black guy. She's cultured, well spoken and understands the world outside of the black community. She had many white friends and coworkers. The masses could relate to her and the show knew people would accept her. She's black, yes, but I know many black people who wouldn't claim her as a "sista." I love her though. I honestly wish she'd leave the franchise behind her. She's done more for herself than any other contestant. She no longer needs to associate herself with the show. They aren't worthy of her IMO and honestly I feel like the show cheapens her brand. She and Bryan found each other... be grateful for that and keep it moving. The show has never been more people of color. I don't know why people expect the show to morph into something it was never meant to be! They don't want it so leave it alone. Don't watch it if it doesn't represent YOUR idea of what America should be.

Preach Rachel! 💛

I'm sorry, but Mike didn't show any personality on BIP. Maybe they decided he wasn't a good fit for the Bachelor. Just because he is nice looking and he has a great smile, doesn't mean he would be entertaining as the lead. It's all about the money. Mike is too nice and wholesome and unfortunately that doesn't make for good TV.

Yees why did they choose Hannah B she was sort of an airhead

I think people forget that JUAN PABLO IS LATIN AMERICAN! HE IS AN IMMIGRANT AND PETER’s MOTHER IS CUBAN! Yes they are both white Latinos but they are still LATINO!! Btw: Love Rachel and Bryan ❤️

Why should it???? Please black people don’t go on that show. It was already expose that producers told contestants never choose the black girl/boy. It not an important milestone for us to conquer. #thisissilly

We love Peter too. Am black too but I think we should support Peter he deserves to be the bachelor as well!

I agree with her 100%

What about another Hispanic? Juan Pablo can not be the one to represent Hispanics. Bring back Roberto Martinez! He is good looking, smart, assertive, a good guy in general.

Rachel was my favorite , after her season 13 everything else went down hill ...

Gosh! Mike was kinda seeing Demi!!! Of course they didn't make him bachelor 🤷

We definitely would welcome diversity in bachelor nation.

I understand the Hannah B comment even I didn’t understand why she was chosen. I personally wouldn’t of chosen mike for the bachelor, but I also wouldn’t of chosen peter. You can’t win no matter what.

Has a black or latino girl ever been proposed to by a bachelor on this show?

Yes diversity is what we need.

Bring some Latinos in the mix!

I love how the fiance has nothing to say 🤨

Thankfully, Rachel was wrong and we got Taysha! But she's right that Mike should have gotten it. Peter was horrible little indecisive mama's boy.

I belive so too

I don’t think this was about race. Mike came across as one dimensional. It could have been the way he was edited. Is he nice to look at? Yes. But would his personality( or atleast what we were shown) be able to carry an entire season of the Bachelor? No. Peter is the better choice. Please&Thanks

Yes let’s stop recycling these ppl and bring someone new and start over

Rachel 👏🏽

Go’head sista’! As usual it took black person to speak up! When are the rest of ya’ll going to speak up? They are not listening to us blk folk. If you want real change in this Franchise and this country, white America needs to speak up and act like you really care.😒

There will be a black bachelor one day but Mike isn’t the right choice. The way he went in for a kiss felt more forced that it should have and rubbed me the wrong way. I was uncomfortable. maybe that’s why people don’t want to have open conversations about it. But there ya go

Amazing how people truly believe this show is the epitome of finding spouses! The dumbing down of America continues!

Bryan is ridiculously gorgeous!!!

Rachel is the Halle berry of the Oscars

Mike isn't the bachelor because of Demi.... Just like Tyler isn't the bachelor because of Gigi

You are outspoken thats for sure. I think sometimes that can be your downfall. You see one-sided and thats it. I'm sure there is a great reason why Peter got the role instead of Mike. I think you should drop it and timing will for sure happen for another Bachelorette or Bachelor of a different nationality will happen. It did't seem like Mike was too upset about their decision and was very happy to see Peter become the next one. So if he is okay with it, I think we all should get over it.

Mike should’ve been bachelor! That was bullshit! Nobody wanted plain ole Peter! Peter seems like a nice guy but he’s so bland...Mike deserves it! Rachel you keep talking about this!!!!

Mike anit ready 2 settle down, that's one reason

What happened with Mike ?

Could it be Mike doesn't have the Bachelor personality the producers are looking for? Mike is handsome and has a great smile. He seems like a good person. I love how close and sweet he is to his mom and grandma. Other than that, they barely showed him on BiP and that was his opportunity to shine. I felt like I didn't see enough of his personality compared to Peter. I would have been happy with either guy for the Bachelor. I always liked Rachel as a contestant and I knew she was going to be a great Bachelorette before the season aired. Honestly, I'm still on the fence with Mike.

This video needs more attention let’s get it to 1,000 likes

I think the fact that there has been more than 20 bachelor’s and not a single one has been black is questionable to say the least. However, I also think Peter was the perfect choice. Last year Colton got the spotlight for being a virgin, now this year Peter has the spotlight because of what he did in the windmill 4 times. When they are deciding who to pick to be the bachelor or bachelorette they aren’t focused on race but on who can deliver the best and most entertaining season that people will want to watch. Besides Mike has Demi Lovato.

This topic didn't age well for Lindsay.

Please watch the Asian Bachelor video it's hilarious!

Mike was boring on paradise. And on Hannah's season all he did was giggle. He did not seem like he could carry the responsibility of being a lead. People need to stop saying it was about race. Mike also had no story line. His story line would've been he's the first black bachelor which we all know is not a good look. Peter is doing a great job! Ppl need to get over this. They'll have another black lead when they have another great candidate like Rachel. Period.

I agree that there is a lack of diversity, but I don’t think Mike should have been picked just because he’s black. He lacked showing his emotional side, which is the reason why he wasn’t picked. They chose Peter for a more dramatic season

Interview is cringy... same questions over and over and ...

Mike is not the bachelor because of the interview with Lauren Zima....He came off as the "horny steamy bachelor" ... Could be a problem on TV . Peter was all clean, no trouble basically. I think he could have been bachelor ! I hope he is next like most people

This annoys me. Mike wouldn't have been a good bachelor, plain and simple. He couldn't show any emotion other than smiling. He didn't make any connection. The way he talks about Demi (Lovato) also shows a lot. He isn't fit for the role. Choosing someone who's gonna suck wouldn't help her case. Peter is great and Hannah was amazing. The producers know what they're doing.

Perhaps Mike was on a date with demi lavato and chose to do that instead. I'm just saying. Perhaps it wasnt producers choice, but mikes choice. Has anybody considered this?

I think its because he was dating Demi .

. you cant just choose someone based off of their race. i honestly didnt like how he acted on bachelorette and was just rude .

Can we all just get over this. It wasn't Mike's time. Look's are not everything. On Hannah's season all he was worried about was the other men. What they were doing to Hannah. Never focused on there relationship. He was very boring. Stirred up drama. On the Bachlor in Paradise. Mike was very boring. Couldn't hold a good conversation. That's why they started not showing Mike as much. I couldn't imagine Mike holding down a "TV Reality" show. Rachel it's not Black & White !!!!!! Bachlor Nation & producer's look at. You have to be watchable. Put it this way. When the audience is watching the Bachlor at home. You have to make it inviting into your journey. Make us want more & more every week. Be able to be exciting , unexpected moments. Good conversations. I don't think Mike has that. Like I said a pretty face isn't everything. Sorry Peter has the whole package !!!! They chose the right Bachlor this season👍

Also if we are talking diversity, THEN bring in Asians, Hispanics and etc.. there’s more than just Africans and Caucasians.

If there is another Black Bachelorette she will pick another white guy.

The show is truly becoming monotonous.There is really no diversity considering it is a country like the USA.They should borrow a leaf from Bachelor Australia

First of all I’m a fan of Rachel Lindsay’s season and I’m happy for her & Bryan but I don’t think she should be a advocate for Mike just cause he is african American like her cause african American men if they were in her position they wouldn’t have return that favor to African American women pure and simple. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a black bachelor, I’m just saying it’s not Rachel Lindsay’s or any black Womens responsibility to advocate for them. There have been black bachelor shows already like flavor of love(ghetto black love show) and the ray j black love show, and etc. With the way colorism is used against brown to dark skinned black women especially in the african American community particularly by the men in the in the media and etc(ex. Gilbert arenas comments against lupita nyongo cause she is a dark skinned black Woman). Black women need to read between the lines and know they need to put their energy on themselves only. Lastly I believe Rachel when she said that we are not going to see any black bachelor or bachelorette anytime soon lol. Rachel met that quota and I’m happy for her.

I love Rachel Lindsay-Abasolo, but the word is out there that the show had the lowest ratings. We have to face the fact that no matter what people are saying "America's Racism is as Thick as black strap Molasses ".There's no white washing it.

It’s a white people show anyway , who cares. I’d rather watch Flavor of Love 😂😂😂

I also wanted Mike to be the next bachelor but i was so disappointed ..

Taysha Wasn’t As Popular As Hannah & Taysha Is Mixed

Can she give the mic to Bryan sometimes :(

Everyone from Hannah's cast were a bunch of lames. I'm glad Mike isn't the Bachelor and Pilot Peter is lame as well so I won't be watching. I don't care what race the Bachelor is as long as he or she is older and really interested in getting married.

all this talk about black and white what about the asians? americans isnt just black and white

Who needs that Franchise?????? Racism is never desirable!!! Forget it! Racism is not to be desired. The show is Racist...point blank. Forget the show.
