Hari Kondabolu on Twitter: "In “The Problem with Apu,” I used Apu & The Simpsons as an entry point into a larger conversation about the representation of marginalized groups & why this is important. The Simpsons response tonight is not a jab at me, but at what many of us consider progress."

  I never watched the Simpsons again after I first saw Apu. Agree. The creators not accepting the problem Is the problem.

  Clearly (*at least it was clear to me!) Their official response? Kinda heartbreakingly & maybe even ~purposely~ ignorant....

  Honestly, it's too hedged and weird for me to even really know what they're saying. I don't know whether the clip I was able to find was the whole thing, but if so, it felt like both a dig at political correctness and a tail-between-the-legs non-admission of guilt. Weak.
