The premise behind “Love Is Blind” is extreme, even for reality TV. The second season of the hit Netflix show raises complicated racial dynamics.

Even if you don’t watch it, chances are you’ve heard or seen something about Netflix’s franchise, “Love is Blind.”

Season one contestant Lauren Speed-Hamilton faced these complex racial dynamics on the show. She’s a Black woman who agreed to marry Cameron Hamilton, a white man, sight unseen. They’ve been married for four years now. This latest cast was more diverse than the first season, and viewers got to see firsthand how an experiment like this can get a little more complicated when race is a factor.

And they weren’t afraid to talk about race, which made for some revealing moments, like when Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee and Deepti Vempati, who are both Indian, admitted they had only ever dated white people.
