Appearing on WWHL, the Bachelorette says producers admitted they didn’t do a good job vetting contestants on her season (via toofab)
One of those changes she hopes will allow James to avoid an incredibly uncomfortable situation that she had to endure on her season. There probably isn't much the show or network can do about racism that will come from the audience, because there is simply still a lot of racism out there in America, as evidenced by some of the reactions to the current protests.
"You need a person of color in the decision room making decisions so that doesn’t happen to them," she said of the network's vetting process for contestants on the show. She also said that producers acknowledged they didn't do a good enough job of vetting her season. Fellow guest Senator Cory Booker said that he hopes it's not about creating that"storyline" of racism, which some producers might think makes for good television. The problem is that it's a tired storyline and a lazy one and certainly not a necessary one for a show about finding love.
"It's a storyline that shouldn't happen," Lindsay agreed, and she hopes it won't recur again during James' season.
