Hank Azaria - a decent, thoughtful guy. Matt Groening - out of touch.

True. Never thought about it until now. After many years of watching the show and mimicking apu makes u wonder how ppl like his race truly feel.
-
Well they didn’t give a shit for almost 30 years...

Im actually italian and i don’t really feel the need to bitch about all the fictional cartoon characters stereotyping my kind in the simpsons, i actually find them really funny and a nice funny look at many of the problems of my country and my people. Like mafia or pizza
-
True they make fun of everyone one. Fat lazy cops and bald dead beat dads along with religious beliefs. Some ppl have a humor some dont which I can understand both.
-
Yeha if you don’t like the jokes just don’t watch, but you shouldn’t really feel tergeted, thats the point of the show in my opinion.

So refreshing to hear someone stand up against this political correctness drivel.

never was offended by Apu but somehow i think this affects his viewpoint - Wealth and net worth. Due to the success of The Simpsons, Matt Groening is estimated to be worth $500 million

Just because he's rich doesn't mean he's wrong.
-
true but it does sway his decision making when evaluating the product that made him rich - haven't watched the Simpsons in forever and not offended by Apu but that's usually true

Apu is offensive bcz it's a stereotype & promotes stereotypism. And it's a WRONG stereotype. It's a character which does NOT reflect the aspirations, qualities & values of a section of society. It's racist & Americans who keep crying out loud abt racism shd get it.
-
The whole series is based on negative stereotypes. That’s what makes it funny. There are far greater battles that need to be fought for equality between all races than a cartoon tv series.
-
I hv watched the series for more than 10 yrs & I love the show. But it gives a WRONG idea of Indians & it's racist. Do u realise that there r bulk of ppl who bully every indian as Appu? US shd stop complaining abt POTUS if they r justifying racism against Indians so brazenly!
