| Topic | 'Simpsons' Creator On Apu Debate: 'People Love To Pretend They're Offended' |
| s0nicfan 04/30/18 11:19:00 PM #51: | EnragedSlith posted... Ehhhhhhh, Apu is a pretty racist characterization. We care more now because people are aware of it, which is exactly how progress has always gone. There was a time when black face was seen in a similar capacity. You can't just make that statement without qualifying it. How are people today "more aware" that Apu is a stereotype than 25 years ago? That's a bullshit premise to even begin with. Nobody 25 years ago seriously thought "I guess this is what indians are all like", just like they thought not all black people were like Hibbert, not all judges were like Snyder, not all christians were like Flanders, and not all police were like Wiggum. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
