Friends on the Chopping Block - Cancel Culture Strikes Again

[GURPS]

Remember Monica's fat suit flashbacks? What about Chandler using the wrong pronoun for his trans parent? And let's not forget the one where Rachel hired an assistant based on his looks.

The horror, the horror.

Millennials allegedly clutched their pearls every time the show popped up on their Netflix menu. Or so we were told by our media betters.

The show's 25th anniversary lets the usual suspects bear their fangs all over again. The most egregious article deemed the show racist … just like a certain president. Here's a Gothamist piece weaponizing the cast's skin color in the first paragraph alone:

Friends, that show based on a white person’s idea of New York City about six white twenty-something friends who were each just the right amount of neurotic and pretty, is turning 25 this month…

The President is a white supremacist, and white nationalist domestic terrorism is at an all-time high in America, but sure, let’s totally celebrate one of the whitest shows in the history of white America with an extended interactive experience that allows you to pretend that one of the country’s most diverse cities in America is actually all white, and also get a photo op with … a recreated set of the fictional coffee shop with a couch that was only ever available for said six friends to sit?

They already made a movie about a black person's idea of New York city.....

It's called "New Jack City" Its about 5 or 6 black twenty-something friends who create a drug empire by selling crack to less fortunate people of their own neighborhoods.

Don't tell them about Blazing Saddles.

There was a black actor in Blazing Saddles, so it will not be talked about. Just sayin’. His name was Cleavon Little. He was the sheriff. It seems the Internet has blocked that fact.
