With all the "news" about Aisha Tyler playing Ross's love interest on Friends, starting tonight, Gothamist would like to point out that Ross has been the only friend to date minorities: He dated a Chinese woman played by Lauren Tom during second season, the first major wrench in the Ross-Rachel coupling, he was interested in Gabrielle Union during season seven, and most famously, he was married to a lesbian. Though David Schwimmer has to play Ross as a buffoon, maybe he is much more enlightened, even though in the end, he'll end up with Rachel/Jennifer Aniston.
Newsday's interview with the hilarious and lovely Aisha Tyler.
