And ABC's is really hyping it up, calling this month Juan-uary after the new star: Juan Pablo Galavis. Promos for the show say he's 'Juan-in-a-million' and 'Juan-derful.' Alex Nogales, President and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition (a group working to put more Latinos in front of and behind the camera), says "trite" and "frivolous" are better words to describe the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise. But regardless, he says, Latinos should be a part of it. "How we are perceived is going to always be the way that we're treated. If we're not even visible, it's even worse."
It's not hyperbole to say that people of color have been completely sidelined on both The Bachelor and Bachelorette.
