Topic	Hank Azaria APOLOGIZES as a WHITE GUY for portraying APU NAHASAPEEMAPETILON!!!
streamofthesky 04/13/21 1:20:49 AM #16:	No, this shit is stupid It's acting, and voice acting not even regular acting where what you look like compared to the character portrayed matters. He was fine as Apu, and Apu was fine as a character. Actually one of the more positively portrayed, intelligent, and nice major characters in a show full of loud obnoxious ass holes and idiots for comedic purposes. Full Throttle posted... He's voiced Apu since 1990 when he made his debut until February of last year where he said he no longer will be voicing the rule as the decision was made in part of a broad culutural shift in animation and the industry believed people of colour should be voiced by minority actors Not the specific nationality or ethnicity, just "of color"? Like, is a Japanese actor allowed to portray a Chinese character b/c it's "close enough"? That's totally not racist, right? He's called for other changes in animation and said "If it's an Indian character or a Latinx charcter or a black character, please let's have that person voice that character. It's more authetnic, they'll bring more of their experience to it and let's not take jobs away from people who don't have enough" So, only white people will be allowed to portray white characters from now on too, right? He credits his thanks to AA where he needed to shut up, listen and learn from the aftermath of criticism Alcoholics Anonymous? The cult that convinces people they have no agency over their own choices ("powerless") and need to be controlled into acting responsibly? <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:952774665] in Hank Azari...
