On Feb. 12, contestants from Clare Crawley/Tayshia Adams's season of The Bachelorette shared a message on Instagram following the lead from the current Bachelor cast. In their post, they detailed how they were "part of one of the most diverse casts in the history of the franchise" and that a conversation on race "has been long overdue." They then finished off the post by saying, "We stand united in denouncing racist behavior and any defense thereof. We also stand united with the women on Season 25 of The Bachelor, who have denounced the same; moreover, we stand united with Rachel Lindsay, who has led the way."
Demar Jackson, AJ Yalowan, Ben Smith, Bennett Jordan, Blake Moynes, Brendan Morais, Chasen Nick, Ed Waisbrot, Garin Flowers, Ivan Hall, Jay Smith, Jordan Chapman, Kenny Braasch, Mike Tobin, Page Pressley, Riley Christian, and Zachary Johnson have all shared the post on Instagram.
