        I thought the video was pretty thoughtful but I ‘‘twas really surprised that Kal Penn hated Apu: he played a stereotypical Indian in Van Wilder. That non-parody was role was far more offensive than Apu.

        Half Indian myself. Kids used 2 ease me by calling me Apu. Never had a prob w/the character My Indian dad was a professor felt the same way. I understand Hari's pts but very much still appreciate the character b/c he's more layered than being given credit 4 #TheSimpsons

        “my shticky, shticky people” is pretty close to humour from old JK Mewling.

        @jonkay the problem with Apuwas too long and I didn’t finish. But I did note that the producer did find Apu funny.

        Or even just watch these 4 minutes. @jonkay Apu was one of very few Indian characters around in the 90s; Krusty is not in the same ballpark.https://twitter.com/thedailyshow/status/983458900035932161?s=21 …
