No, thank you.
Don't know about the "Friends" board, but out of curiosity a few years back, I tried looking my old IMDB messages under the "Early Edition" show on this site, and lo and behold, they were there all the way from 2008 or 2007. It made me very happy for some reason (temporarily).
Never heard of it. But I could see it as a "douchebag name", or a redneck one. I knew a guy from Tennessee whose (first) name was Diesel.
He was just very fit, pretty tall, and had nice hair.
I prefer Caucasian with the occasional dash of brown or black, so I'm glad Friends was made that way. There ought to be room for white-only or white-supermajority casts on television and movies. Lighter Hispanics, Indians, Arabs, or Jews (a la David Schwimmer) are fine too in those settings so long as they're Westernized.
There's always been an obsessive and competitive nature in her personality, which I never liked, but that's just how the character was constructed to be.
She pulled it off eventually, that's for sure.
I got Ross, unsurprisingly.
Not shocked, unfortunately. In the last interview I saw him in, he looked and sounded like an 85-year-old. Poor guy aged horribly. He'll be missed.
Sometimes — oftentimes, in fact — a bunch of white people get together and form friendships, relationships, get into conflicts, build professional relations, and so on. And sometimes, this aspect of life will be reflected in art and entertainment. Other groups will be black, others Hispanic, and others multiracial.
If you only have a problem with the first one but not with the last three, then it sounds that you just have a problem with white people. And if you have such a problem with white people as to seek to deny them group representation on television or elsewhere, then no, there's not much validity to your argument.
PS: The whitest of the Friends has just passed away. So there's that. I'm sure there'll be plenty of threads about this.
