'Put simply, black women—and especially dark-skinned black women without Eurocentric features—are rarely ever seen or depicted as desirable.”
On the season 23 premiere of The Bachelor, seven contestants were sent home on the first night, at least three of whom were women of color. The following week saw the elimination of at least one more, bringing the remaining number of women of color on the season down to half. With only two non-white leads in 23 seasons of The Bachelor and 15 seasons of The Bachelorette, it’s no secret that the franchise has historically favored white contestants.
“The history of The Bachelor is all white men. Most of them do have a preference already. Most of them are used to dating white American women—blondes or brunettes,” Revian Chang, a Chinese-American woman who was eliminated on the first episode of Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor, tells StyleCaster.She continues, “I don’t think anything was like, ‘Oh, she’s Asian. We’re trying to weed her out.
“I know people were campaigning for Mike to be the Bachelor, so I feel like if Mike was the Bachelor on my season, then that would work in my favor more because I feel like minorities are open to dating other races,” she says, referencing Mike Johnson, a frontrunner from The Bachelorette season 15 who would’ve been the franchise’s first black Bachelor.Racial bias is also apparent on Love Island, a popular U.K. dating show where singles live in a villa for a summer as they look for love.
