I don’t know if you ever watched
the show “Friends”, but it was about a bunch of twenty-somethings living in New
York and dealing with romance, careers, etc. Apparently it was criticized at
the time for its lack of diversity, as all the characters were white.
According to an article I read
this week, one of the co-creators got emotional when asked what she wishes she
had known at the start of her career. “Sorry, I just wish I knew then what I know
now,” she said tearfully. “I would’ve made very different decisions.”
I was trying to figure out what
she didn’t know: That non-white people live in New York, or that she’d be criticized
later in her career for ignoring that.
