Her comments remind me of the professor telling Beavis and Butthead they have white privilege.

But seriously, had the show shoehorned racial diversity based on skin color she would not currently have the amount of money that she does.

Didn’t Ross date an Asian woman? Wasn’t Ross Jewish? Pretty damn sure it was an assumption that Phoebe was Bi. Everyone thought Chandler was gay until he started dating Monica.

So the issue isn’t lack of diversity in the cast it’s lack of Black characters.

Let’s get straight to the white guilt point.

They were almost 100% diverse. I don’t know what you’re getting at.

Progs are so awesome at virtue signaling, after they get theirs.

The Hollwood types are the kings of this. I don't believe any of the shite they say.

Side Note: Why is it you only hear this kind of shite from white people?





Because they can afford it. Convenient guilt.

Yeah of all the issues that minorities may be facing today, this is definitely one of them. Way to make it all about you, Marta.

Yeah your right. 2 Jewish characters and 2 characters you thought were gay is very diverse.

People who do and say stuff like this almost certainly have dropped a few N bombs before.

Exactly. What a delusional frickin retard she is. Jeezus.
Some other shows I grew up watching. Not a single time did I think "Man they need some white folks on this show."

It kinda was for the early 90’s.

It’s easy to look in the past and judge/criticize things back then through the view point of today.

And remember, for the most part, the 90’s were more open and diverse than the 70’s.

Seriously. It's hard to imagine criticizing something like this with the plethora of quality black shows on TV. These people are delusional.

No way shows like Friends/Entourage will ever exist now. Can you imagine a show in 2022 where the cast in nearly all white?

Got to fill all the boxes. black with big hair, gay, lesbian, asian...
