J.D: A hug?
Ted: No, a black friend. I think it would make me much cooler.
Turk: I should be offended, but he's right.

— Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff author's notes
“I mean, who has a black best friend, right? Like, in real life, if you’re trying to be all authentic?” (turning to the room full of unsmiling black actresses) “Do any of you have a white best friend? No? Right.”
Being from the south, I have a lot of white friends back home, and I'm their one black friend, I'm their draft pick, first round. When that happens, when you're the one black friend, you become the ambassador for all things black. Anything swirling around in their mind, they're like, "Send it on high to Jourdain, let him consult with the negro council, have him bring word back down the mountain, and we shall ruminate upon it here in Caucasia!"
"All my black friends have a bunch of white friends, and all my white friends have one black friend!"
"[Rule] no.4: always have at least one friend who's a Jew."
— Seth MacFarlane, Harvard Commencement 2006, delivered in character as Stewie.
"The rule of every story is that the main character must always have a wacky black and/or fat friend."
