All I know is the Apu never shops at my establishment, and when he does he wants things for way less than the going price. He wont be happy unless Im losing money on the sale.

Thus I dont shop at the Kwik-E Mart. EVER!

I agree. Every character on The Simpsons is a caricature of some group. It's not like the show is filled with perfectly normal yellow people only to drop in an over top Indian caricature in the middle of them all.

You don't see the Irish crying about Chief Wig_gam, or Scots crying about Groundskeeper Willie, etc but PoC's? That's just off-limits.

Guess they're going to have to edit Blue Raja out of Mystery Men too now...

They phased Apu out of the show last year but apparently it seems like theyre planning on bringing him back but with a new voice actor whos actually Indian. Its stupid because if his voice is too different itll be jarring and unlikable but if they get an Indian actor to voice him who actively attempts to simulate Hank Azarias voice for Apu then itll be pointless to change actors. It also goes to show the hypocrisy that Groundskeeper Willie isnt voiced by Scotsman and Bart Simpson isnt voiced by a young boy. Apparently this policy only applies to people of marginalized communities or something...

Its because literally like twelve people whined and complained and acted as if they speak for the 1.3 billion Indian people on the planet.
Its the same thing with the Washington Redskins. You have a very small vocal group who throws a tantrum. Meanwhile, most Native Americans said they were fine with the name when polled.

Apu isn't going anywhere. Matt Groening said it himself. He also said "People love to pretend they're offended. They have an outrage of the week and then move on to being upset about something else."

There's nothing racist about Apu. Now, the douche canoe that made that video is extremely racist.
