TC I hope you don't ever get offended for being called a snowflake or a SJW. Or anyone else who feels this was "racist".

That reminds me. I need to go back and watch the rest of Blackish and Fresh Off the Boat. I liked their first seasons, but then got sidetracked by some games and a few Netflix series.

Anyone know if Blackish and Fresh Off the Boat got even better?

It's just something that didn't warrant a laugh track.

Schwimmer and Perry could've had funnier show on their own. LeBlanc was ok.

That last bit with Chandler saying that is from from the extended edition. It's not in the regular version and did not air like that when it premiered.

That's what I was thinking. I thought Joey was asking if there was anything else because he didn't believe he had stones. If this was intended to be racist, my bad. I just didn't see it. Still not funny though.

Thats how I saw it too. But twitter would scream about how racist it is and Friends should be cancelled.

i didn't see anyone react in fear that those with actual phobias do.

A phobia is an excessive and irrational fear reaction. If you have a phobia, you may experience a deep sense of dread or panic when you encounter the source of your fear. The fear can be of a certain place, situation, or object. Unlike general anxiety disorders, a phobia is usually connected to something specific.

None of that there so its not phobic in any way.

How backwards do you have to be to even make this argument in 2020? Do you also believe fat is afraid of water?

Just use the word phobia correctly.

Homohobia should be to homosexuals what arachnophobia is to spiders. And simply disliking or hating something is not a phobia of that something. It has to be an irrational fear of that thing. Again, that what phobia means.
