'Bridgerton' Is Nowhere Near Perfect on Race But it's Still a Step Forward
Bridgerton is a color-blind fantasy free from all racial discourse, , "That would imply that color and race were never considered, when color and race are part of the show."But that's not apparent to viewers until the third episode: When explaining the importance of love, Lady Danberry, one of the show’s Black matriarchs, reveals that their white king fell in love with a Black woman, Queen Charlotte, and their bond was the reason their utopian society was devoid of racism.
