Mike Johnson: "A black Bachelor should have been cast"

ETonline

The Bachelorette alum says he always had a feeling Peter Weber would become the next Bachelor. But he does agree with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay that the franchise should've had a black Bachelor by now. "In regards to what Rachel was saying, I do agree with Rachel, that after 24 Bachelors, a black Bachelor should have been cast," he says. "But at the same time, ABC has been successful. They know what they're doing for their audience. They know what they're looking for. I wasn't the guy they were looking for at the moment." Johnson adds: "I think of diversity more than just black and white. And yes, Peter has a Cuban mom, but let's just be honest -- he's white, right? And that's just being completely transparent. I think that there should be an Asian lead, an Indian lead... diversity is not just black and white. It's not just salt and pepper."
