Exclusive: Peter Weber speaks on race being the issue at the forefront of conversation around TheBachelor
If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page."I want to be hopeful, but when you have a contestant like Mike Johnson, who seems to check all the boxes, how is he not the Bachelor? I don't understand," Lindsay said."I'm sure they have some reason for not picking him, and I'm going to trust in that, but at the same time, the system isn't working in giving us a Bachelor who is a person of color. So we need to change the system.
Still, Johnson offered his congratulations to Weber, who in turn told ET that he thought the Air Force veteran would have made a"great Bachelor." "A, I didn't make this decision, right? I was very grateful to accept it and move forward, but listen, regardless of race, of identity or whatnot, everybody is deserving of love. And I'm not the only person," Weber shared."They picked me and I'm very excited and very humbled."
"I'm all for diversity and I'm excited for this journey to maybe date some diverse women that I haven't dated before. I haven't found my person yet, so maybe I just haven't been dating the right type of person," he continued."I totally get [the criticism], it's fair. All I can say is I'm so grateful to have this opportunity and I wish Mike and everyone all the love in the world.
"Son, don't worry, don't fret. Let the waters run," he translated after speaking the phrase in Spanish."Let the river flow as it may, because what's for you, and what's meant for you, will never be tarnished and will always be yours."Vamos a comer
