Although their lawsuit was shot down in court, did Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson’s attempt to prove racial discrimination in The Bachelor provoke change?
This season, with the blonde and beautiful Sean Lowe, things are turning around.

The girls range from African-America, Filipino, and Persian, giving Sean a wide range of girls to choose from.

Not only is the show moving forward by choosing a wide array of races, but the topic is being tackled on screen. Monday night, African-America contestant Robyn Howard bluntly asks Sean about his preference in women — based on race.

He says he does not care about a woman’s race, and assures Robyn that it will not be a factor in his decisions regarding his future wife.
