[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take your point OP. But I don’t think footloose is the best example — a film about an insular backwards conservative town afraid of change and modernity—integrating that group would have been difficult for the narrative. But talk about any of the John Hughes movies, or Fast Times’s, or Bill and Teds, or clerks (I guess that’s 90s). [/quote] IMO, the worst offender is actually Friends. I thought the show was good, but, c'mon.. young people in NYC, and no gay people or minorities? That is until Ross dated two different nonwhite women. I think I read that he thought it was also ridiculous that a show about young people in NYC had zero non white people. I also read a long time ago that when there were a couple of Asian guest cast, they had to deal with racism. Friends started in the 90s. Seinfeld was just as bad, actually. [/quote]
