Reply to comment by TrophyDad_72 in Is it true the women in THE A TEAM were fired because the lead actor wanted an All Male cast? by Lili_Danube

Friends wasn't heavily criticized for having a core cast of white people. It's that they lived in NYC and almost everyone who ever appeared on the show was white—with a few exceptions.

NYC is not all that white.

Blame the casting director. Maybe they thought showing other types of people would make it less marketable. TV executives are the stupidest people to ever make millions of dollars that aren't pro-athletes.

Why the downvotes? Is it NOT the fault of the casting director and the tv executives when a show has a lot of white people? Whose fault is it when a show only casts white people, then? Is it Jennifer Aniston's fault?

Well…. I mean not all of them are stupid, but if I had to pick a group of people most likely to be stupid, and rich, it’d be athletes or lottery winners…
