Best of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

Winner of our last poll, here is Apu in his many forms.

[@ishaanhorwith2723]

Coming from an Indian, I love Apu and think he's a harmless comedic stereotype. I mean literally every character in the simpsons is some kind of stereotype (Groundskeeper Willie, Apu, Cletus, Sea Captain, Fat Tony, Chief Wiggum, etc.)

[@neuronneuron3645]

You finding it funny doesn't mean it isn't racist. Your argument is not valid

[@honestabe6359]

@@neuronneuron3645 it's not an argument. It's a fact that Apu was removed because someone couldn't handle a cartoon character.

[@neuronneuron3645]

@@honestabe6359 No The fact is that Apu was removed. The cause is open to interpretation. Either the character was an offensive stereotype that Hari courageously brought to the public eye or he was a sensitive sjw and triggered other snowflakes It's either a hero or a villain myth behind the this incident depending on your perspective Which then affects how you deal with similar situations in future

[@honestabe6359]

@@neuronneuron3645 the cause is definitely not that it is an offensive stereotype. Were that the cause, the groundskeeper, the Italian mob boss, Homer himself, and a fair few other characters would have been removed as well. But none of those were removed. It is beyond obvious that one guy with some social reach decided he'd make a career out of it. The Simpsons, not being the Simpsons of the 90s, decided they'd much rather bend over backwards and remove a character loved by millions of others.

[@neuronneuron3645]

@@honestabe6359 Yeah it would be offensive to call a groundskeeper groundskeeper Willie or a man fat tony simply because he is Italian. It's an insult. I don't think the show intended for this to happen but it does. On Haris KZbin channel he is called Apu multiple times. It's used as a racial slur It's too late now but the show can do something about the future. They already made a decision whereby characters are voiced by voice actors of their respective ethnicities. And my guess is they'll reconsider how they deal with race in general on the show (judging from Hank Azarias apology on Colbert) It's also bigger than the Simpsons with many white voice actors making a similar decision to step down from playing non white characters of their own volition - Jenny slate, Kristen Bell and others

[@Ambipie]

[@atiyadavids4651]

@@theALTF4 erm I’m an “Indian Indian” as you call it myself. Like the other “Indian Indians” you’re referring to, we are usually used to casual racism. Stereotypes like this infiltrate the brains of simpletons. I’ll give you an example. I’m from a family where my father is a psychiatrist and successful business owner. My mother is clinical lead radiographer/manager of the 3 main London hospitals. As a child, adults would regularly approach me to ask how the “restaurant” or “store” is doing? Based on absolutely nothing apart from the fact I’m Indian. To impersonate accents is something that’s pretty outdated these days, something that was funny maybe 10 years ago. The flanderisation of all Simpsons characters has reduced them to *nothing but* their stereotypical features, so to say there’s more to Apu than the stereotype is simply untrue.

The Simpson's writers are making a product and the customers complained about something in the product, so that thing was changed. Its the same as if people all of a sudden began complaining about an ingredient in coca cola, you wouldn't expect the recipe to remain the same

I miss Apu. He had so many great moments, and was one of the few characters in the show who affected the status quo as he grew from a bachelor to a family man whilst still being a workoholic. I guess you could argue he was a negative stereotype, but since he's from a show built up on stereotypes there's no point of removing him. He was a popular and likeable character too.

[@Sniperboy5551]

As someone who’s half-Indian by blood, Apu was always and will always be my favorite character from the Simpson’s. There’s nothing even remotely racist about him, stereotypes are FUNNY, not racist!

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

It sucks we're not gonna see him again because some people on Twitter couldn't handle The Simpsons not immediately buckling to them

[@GIMMETHELOOTNOW]

Apu the 🐐 BRING HIM BACK 💯💯

3:28 you left out the best part. Homer, whisper-yelling: "$5.99! What a rip-off! Someone should shoot you!"

LMAO the citizenship test was so funny. I had it recently I almost did the same. The agent told me: "wait to finish to question already before you answer!".

[@ErikaBell_Z]

Apu was a great character. It's a shame the Simpsons writers bowed to pressure from the cancel culture mob of SJWs.

[@1TwistedPoet]

Probably NONE of whom are Indian.

[@disneyboy3030]

Okay let me say this. They aren't getting rid of him, the actor resigned on his own terms, and they are going to get a new actor.

I guess they got the wrong character targeted for their protests but I think all this shyte started because kids in American schools would bully Indian kids by mimicking Apu's accent all the time.

[@1TwistedPoet]

My favorite line, I can't even find. It's when Apu is filling out a form and says "Other? There are 800 Million of us!"
