The Bachelor contestant, who is still in the running to win over Matt's heart, raised eyebrows after photos from her college days resurfaced on Reddit. In the images, which E!

She would later apologize in a statement posted on social media. "At one point, I didn't recognize how offensive and racist my actions were, but that doesn't excuse them," Rachael wrote on Feb. 11. "My age or when it happened does not excuse anything. They are not acceptable or okay in any sense. I was ignorant, but my ignorance was racist."
