1. I'll add one thing to the great Apu debate: until recently I was also an Desi who didn't mind Apu. I've changed, largely because I've started listening to people younger than me. https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/984418135632760832 …

Correct: what is "further right" today? Are these kids in favor of smaller government? Or just "owning the libs"?

But what makes the argument cogent to you? That Apu hurts their feelings? I ask because I'm unconvinced this is a matter of arguments. I think it's a matter of testimony. Younger people say Apu makes them feel bad, and you respond by revising your contrary reaction to him.

It's not just about hurt feelings -- it's about the specific fact that Apu was used as a racist taunt against them when they were in school.

There age matters because they had experiences that I didn't have (being kids when Simpson was on). If you think that's an "identity game" then you are an imbecile.
