40 Seasons. 18 Years. 1 Black Lead. Those are the numbers at the center of a new campaign aimed at holding the Bachelor franchise accountable for diversity and anti-racism, starting with a petition and a call to cast a Black man as the lead in season 25 of The Bachelor. (Clare Crawley has already been cast as the lead for season 16 of The Bachelorette.) In 40 seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay is the only Black lead, and the petition and campaign are hoping to change that, while also making other changes to how the show operates.
