Erich Schwer from The Bachelorette was photographed in blackface in his high school yearbook. #TheBachelorette

This show has set up bachelorette leads to feel like they’re worthless if they don’t get proposed to. Bc let’s be real, the power is always with the men on this show and even more so this double bachelorette season #thebachelorette

All of #BachelorNation Twitter needs to take tonight to think about what they said. Rachel is a person. One who has opened up her private life for our entertainment. Take a moment to find grace & compassion for someone who you are only seeing select parts of. #Bachelorette

the same ppl who were worried abt the producers pitting Rachel and Gabby against each other are the sam ppl who are doing exactly that #TheBachelorette

I get that Zach was in his feelings, but I still don't like what he did and I don't think he has the maturity to be #thebachelor -- which seems like what he is being set up for with this apology. #TheBachelorette #TheBacheloretteFinale

#TheBachelorette recap: This season is a mess - writes Ali B vult.re/3qEwuTh

So much effort for this gimmick. 🙄 So little effort towards being anti-racist. The difference is chilling. #TheBachelorette

Bachelor Nation, please send your support to Ali. #TheBachelor

“The truth is, as a franchise, we’ve done a very poor job of addressing serious topics head-on” -Jesse James Palmer. 👀 This is the actual most shocking thing that has ever happened on #TheBachelor . A conversation about racism and Blackface on THIS show? You truly love to see it.

One question Mike Fleiss: What does “do better” mean? Specifically, does it mean not casting racists for the The Bachelorette to date? Doing better is ambiguous, and can’t be measured. Will you commit to improving cast vetting for Charity’s season? #TheBachelor

Is it any wonder that there’s been no systemic change The Bachelor? Imagine the toxicity that has bled into every single aspect of this show. Once again, saddened, but not surprised. #TheBachelor
