Topic	Hank Azaria APOLOGIZES as a WHITE GUY for portraying APU NAHASAPEEMAPETILON!!!

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. This. It's all kinds of ridiculous. Even if people were annoyed the accent imitations, that sort of shit is still going to happen when people copy the new guy. The only way to avoid things like that would be to remove Apu from the show, and removing diversity to "protect" groups kinda sounds like a shit idea. IronBornCorps posted... Also please, tell the only openly Indian person in this topic, who actually deals with things like racism, what equality looks like. >Suggests Indians are the only people who deal with racism >Wants to be taken seriously IronBornCorps posted... Then go create an all Asian production of Hamilton and tell me how that goes. Which is a stupid complaint when you're talking about a show where white historical figures are pretty much exclusively played by minorities, including Asians. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:952788841] in Hank Azari...
