Reply to comment by thebruns in What is about friends that people deem “problematic” by gtreble9

There is a lot of sociology to the effect that people who live in large areas that are diverse overall still live insular lives. In other words, the cities are diverse, but the neighborhoods are not. That's Friends.

We could buy this argument for the leading cast, and one could even try for a reach and say that Friends is a criticism of this fact.

The issue is that the cast is also almost entirely white as they interact with the world around them which shows us this is an issue with the studio/writers.

They live in Manhattan, not Staten Island.
