Adam Goldberg, known for his role as Chandler's roommate Eddie on 'Friends,' has criticized the show's lack of diversity, describing it as 'insane' in hindsight. In interviews, he reflected on the industry's norms at the time, stating that the absence of representation for people of color was typical across American television. Goldberg noted that many Black viewers didn't expect to see themselves in the show and emphasized how characters' relevance should transcend race. This discussion on diversity isn't new; various cast members, including creators Marta Kauffman and David Schwimmer, have acknowledged the sitcom's shortcomings in representation. Kauffman has expressed embarrassment over the show's focus on straight, white characters, while Schwimmer advocated for more inclusive storylines. Despite these issues, Goldberg expressed pride in being part of 'Friends' and fondly recalled his experience on the series.
