'Oh, it’d be completely different,' Lisa Kudrow said. 'It would not be an all-white cast, for sure'

Schwimmer previously admitted that he was “well aware of the lack of diversity” during Friends’ ten-season run, and advocated for his character, Ross, to date more women of color as a result. “One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian-American woman, and later I dated African-American women,” he said. “That was a very conscious push on my part.” Hmm, maybe this will be a hot topic when the reunion special finally films.
