The Bachelorette

So I would imagine many have heard, but Rachel Lindsay is the next bachelorette. This makes her the FIRST black lead on either series (The Bachelor and The Bachelorette). This show has had 33 seasons and FINALLY they have a black individual leading the show. I couldn't be more excited. What are everyone's thoughts? I was honestly surprised that ABC released this information this early (considering she is "still on" the current season of The Bachelor)
