Except that there is an issue of inter-racial dating. The people filing the complaint or lawsuit or whatever it is, also pointed out that while there have been PoC on the shows, they are usually eliminated fairly quickly.
That has absolutely nothing to do with interracial dating in the media if there were PoC on the show. Just because you don't get picked, doesn't mean that the audience doesn't want to see an interracial couple. It means that the individuals didn't like you. Chances are high that the person of a different ethnicity will be eliminated first simply due to natural personal preferences. Since none of the main characters are PoC, then they will always be at a disadvantage. Hence why they want a PoC as the center role. A PoC is more likely to pick someone of their same ethnicity than someone who isn't.

So while the idea of inter-racial dating is there, it isn't actually being practiced, because none of the PoC had a shot anyways, either because the people in charge of the show are racist jerks, or because the Bachelor/ettes are racist jerks.
Neither. Read above. It's this type of nonsense that fuel people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and then everyone wants to blame minorities for creating/promoting a "non existing problem".
