A number of the show's primary cast members have also recently addressed the diversity issue in the famous series.

In an interview with The Guardian earlier this year, David Schwimmer said he was \"well aware of the lack of diversity\" and he \"campaigned for years to have Ross date women of color.\"

\"One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian American woman, and later I dated African American women,\" he told the outlet. \"That was a very conscious push on my part.\"

Lisa Kudrow also recently told The Sunday Times that she feels the show would be \"completely different\" if it took place now.

\"It would not be an all-white cast, for sure ... I’m not sure what else, but, to me, it should be looked at as a time capsule, not for what they did wrong,\" she said.
