"When you're putting out something that is very whitewashed and doesn't have any type of colour in it and you're not trying to be effective and change that... I think that they have to at this point, give us a black Bachelor for season 25," a magazine quoted Lindsay as saying during the interview.
"I don't know how you don't, it's been asked of me will I continue in this franchise if it continues this way, I can`t. I have to see some type of change," the 34-year-old actor added.
