Jenn Tran says 'it's unfortunate' there aren't many Asian suitors on 'The Bachelorette'

Jenn Tran, the first Asian American 'Bachelorette,' has voiced her disappointment regarding the scarcity of Asian American men on her season of the show. Despite making history with her selection, Tran is disheartened by the limited representation of Asian suitors.

"I can’t really speak to the casting process and the decisions that were made, but it is unfortunate that there weren’t a lot of Asian men this season," Tran told Glamour. "Asian men haven’t always seen themselves in this position, and I am hoping that me being here and Thomas N. being there can inspire other Asian men to realize that they can do this too if they want. They can be in this position as well," she added.
