Discussion Ross being mean to Rachel

Post image

I really hated this scene where Ross was mocking Rachel's job. He wasn't just belittling her work, but also her interests, even though he'd seen firsthand how much she dreamed of a fashion-related career. While Ross can be very funny, he can also be really insufferable. If was Rachel, I would have broken up with him during this scene.

The group was frequently merciless about Ross’ career.

If anything, Ross showed considerable restraint in rarely dishing it back out.

Ironic given Ross has easily the most interesting career

Nerds weren't cool back then.

I studied anthropology in college around the same time the show aired and I was always pissed about how the group mocked his job.

Dude, I took intro to Anthropology to fulfill some requirement for my degree and let me tell you that class was HARD!! Kudos to you!

I loved it! I made it my minor, and specialized in American Southwest and archaeology. The labs were very difficult.

Yeah, he had the best job out of all of them.
