Not that I watch stuff like this...

But, why not?

And why is there a need to announce it?

Just do it.

Ratings must be down.. let’s try to stir something up. I know let’s cast a black girl and at least a few rednecks racists and film the outcome

I don't give a rat's hindquarters what race or races are featured on that show.It's utterly mindless so why would I,a guy with a normal (or near normal) IQ,ever want to watch?

Why not do an all illegal alien version of the show?

Maria is the bachelorette and her 12 suitors are Jose, Juan, Miguel, Jose, Julio, Manuel, Juan, Carlos, Jose, Carlos, Federico and Miguel.

Man, everything is referred to as "historic" now.

Does anyone really think people one hundred years from now will be able to tell you who was the first black contestant on The Bachelorette?
