Color is the hottest topic in the hit ABC television show "The Bachelorette," according to creator Mike Fleiss.

In his interview with US Weekly on Jan. 9, Fleiss said that he next season of "The Bachelorette" would likely feature a "woman of color." The show creator also added that that was the goal and the Bachelorette had not been chosen yet. With his revelation, Fleiss also pointed out that they were making a concentrated effort to make it happen.

The present "The Bachelor" season stars Ben Higgins, along with Jubilee Sharpe and Amber James, who are both "women of color," as per US Weekly. According to the publication, James was a bartender in Chicago and she had initially appeared in Chris Soules' season of the show. On the other hand, Sharpe was a Haiti native, among the season's cast.

In a statement, ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee also teased that it would be highly likely to have a black Bachelorette in the show this Spring, according to Celeb Dirty Laundry. As per the publication, the reason behind this move is to quiet the "disgruntled" fans.

While no "woman of color" has become the lead over the 20 seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," it was revealed that people behind the shows always took precautions to cast at least two to three African American men and women to date the Bachelor or the Bachelorette.

According to Lee, they were doing a who lot of tweaks and they had the firm team, which allowed them to then pick the next one. He added that he would be very surprised if The Bachelorette in the summer was not diverse, though he though that was likely.

"The Bachelorette" airs every Monday on ABC.

Fleiss did not detail whether one of the women could be the next star of the "The Bachelorette's" upcoming season; however, it is assumed that the show is going to cast a wide array of colors.

For Fleiss, they were going to do everything possible to select the "right person" while adding a little taste of diversity to the show's cast.
