Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Schwimmer said that he pushed for his character to date women of colour during the series.
David Schwimmer has said that Friends was “wrong” to not have more representation in its cast.
Schwimmer added, however, that he did believe Friends was a positive force for representation in other areas, specifically its depiction of lesbian couple Carol and Susan.
In August, Schwimmer will film a much-anticipated cast reunion with his Friends co-stars, which was expected to shoot in April but was delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
