‘The Bachelor’ To Be Hit By Class-Action Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Last year, when Entertainment Weekly asked Mike Fleiss, who created The Bachelor and its spinoff, The Bachelorette, if there would ever be a non-white Bachelor or Bachelorette, he told them “I think Ashley is 1/16th Cherokee Indian, but I cannot confirm. But that is my suspicion! We really tried, but sometimes we feel guilty of tokenism. Oh, we have to wedge African-American chicks in there! We always want to cast for ethnic diversity, it’s just that for whatever reason, they don’t come forward. I wish they would.” Given that sort of flip thinking, it’s not surprising that in 23 seasons of both shows, they’ve never found an African-American man or woman willing to go through a courtship charade on national television and actually make a commitment to get married at the end of it.
