The Bachelor’s ‘oppressed ranga’ Zoe-Clare McDonald goes viral on TikTok

Her unforgettable debut on Wednesday’s episode The Bachelor turned her into an instant meme, and now Zoe-Clare McDonald is being spoofed on TikTok.

After claiming at the cocktail party that she was being ‘discriminated against’ because of her red hair, Zoe-Clare, 23, has inspired a flurry of impersonators.

As viewers flocked to TikTok to offer their take on the ‘ranga meltdown’, a user named Chloe Wiltshire went viral for hilariously calling out the reality star in a short video set to hip-hop artist Apollo Fresh’s single JoJo Pose.

The redheaded TikTok star sarcastically captioned the video: ‘We face so much oppression #ranga #justiceforredheads #redheadlivesmatter #HurtMyFeelings.’

Chloe recreated some of Zoe-Clare’s poses from the hit dating show, including one screenshot where she’s wiping away tears, as well as her Bachelor profile picture.

Zoe-Clare went on a stunning rant during Wednesday’s premiere, claiming that fellow contestant Areeba Emmanuel had stolen Locky Gilbert from under her because she’s a ‘ranga’. 

‘What’s wrong with a ranga? I’m sorry, do you want me to dye my hair every 10 seconds, I’m so sorry but this is natural guys. This is not going anywhere!’ she fumed.

‘I don’t want to go through this experience being different because… this sounds so stupid, but because of the colour of my goddamn hair. And that sucks. The colour of my complexion.’

Zoe-Clare added that she was being discriminated against because she’s ‘different’, even though Areeba, 25, is one of the few people of colour on the show.  

‘You’re still different. You’re still a f**king ranga at the end of the day and that sucks because they think, no matter what, oh it’s fine, she’s different,’ she continued.

‘Like, did Areeba do it to any of the blonde girls? Any of the brunette girls? No.

‘You know what? I’m proud of being a ranga. I will be a ranga until the day I die. We are more striking than any other human that walks this Earth.’
