Because he is an Indian-American entrepreneur who supports his large family through his convenience store? That’s not racist, that’s real life and reflective of their culture. Seems more racist to erase Apu and his long running storyline.

Are they going to get rid of Chief Wiggum and the Comic Book Guy too?

Moe, Willie, BumbleBee Man, Otto, Luigi, Akira, even Homer. All stereotypes. Almost every character on the show is in some way. Just end the garbage.

I'm on the fence regarding this. However I look at it, I end up thinking that this is a show based on stereotypes. It has, since day one, been a satire of most in some way shape or form. From white to black and brown. From evangelical to alcoholic. It made fun of ALL.

Here’s a thought, how about having him on the show and not having him be a racist caricature?
-
A college educated business owner who's married, has eight kids and is a volunteer firefighter is a racist stereotype? How are you so oblivious?
