All of my Indian friends hate that Apu was removed, it was their favourite character- it was MY favourite character too, and I'm European. He's one of the smartest characters in the whole show, and often serves to show just how DUMB American culture can be, and how he has to dumb himself down to fit in. I feel like people who think that Apu was a negative racial stereotype weren't really paying attention, at all. Same kinda people who see mini-skirts in star-trek and think it's sexist, when in reality it was feminism and at the time, so progressive it nearly got them canceled.

[@D_YellowMadness]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a gay character having some stereotypical aspects as long as it's not derailing their characterization to make them do something stereotypical because a writer somehow felt the need to fill a stereotype quota. The problem is when a show consistently writes gay characters that way & acts like it's normal. Like Family Guy. The gay characters in that show are almost incapable of having a personality trait other than "does stuff you'd expect from a gay character". As a result, they're barely characters. They're just vehicles for jokes. Though the same could be said for any modern Family Guy character.

I’m just happy Apu got a Lego Minifigure before he got “cancelled”

[@RSidd]

I am an Indian and honestly, I got so pumped up whenever Apu appeared on the show. I wanted to thank the writers for putting so much effort into creating such a wholesome, lovable character that I could identify myself with. Never saw him as an insult to my culture.

[@Scoring57]

Rishav Siddhanta You don't speak for all indian people do you? Anyways as a non-indian person, he doesn't seem all that wholesome to me. At least not most of the time. Maybe he's given some dimension from time to time but over all he just comes of as a joke. Some idiots are probably going to say that's the point cause it's a comedy but we're talking about character substance or the idea behind a character here. And from that perspective he just doesn't seem very real at all. Or even come off as a reflection or exaggeration of someone that's real. Feels like a bunch of unflattering stereotypes cobbled together and balanced out with attempts of making him seem more developed than he is

[@bipedleek241]

[@linuslucky1935]

Rishav Siddhanta when I first saw Apu I thought he was a white guy who got slot of tans and who talked funny.

[@kirikakirikakirika]

I'm a white woman who grew up watching The Simpsons. I haven't seen the show in years, but Apu was _always_ my favourite character. I was a kid, but I didn't see him as an Indian stereotype and I didn't like him because of his accent. He was a genuine, kind, and hardworking guy who loves his family and friends. Yes, of course, there are some cliches to his character, as with _every_ character on the show, but he's so much more than just a convenience store owner. One of my favourite episodes was when he went on a pilgrimage with Homer, and Homer kept screwing up the entire journey. At the end, Apu beats the crap out of Homer for ruining everything, and I cheered! As a lower middle class white kid, I sympathised and identified with an Indian character in a comedy show. It's almost like ... he was a good character.

Man so doing a binge watch of the entire series so far and decided to rewatch this video. It’s really sad to see that they basically axed Apu, but managed to get new VAs for Carl, Lou, and Dr. Hibbert that fit the roles really well. If anything despite this whole thing being a response to “Making sure minorities are better represented” the lack of Apu just comes off as “Your group is not important enough for us to bring Apu back despite every one loving this character”.

[@roselandpetals]

Your love for Mario is similar to the love Mexicans have for Speedy Gonzalez. He's a fun representative of our culture. Do we have accents? Some us do. Do we wear sombreros? Its definitely part of the culture. Speedy is a representative of us in the Looney Tunes era where Mexicans were otherwise not represented at all. It was a fun tongue-in-cheek way to laugh at our own culture. Its possible for another culture to represent another as long as its not degrading. I have no problem with the legendary Mel Blanc voicing Speedy or the way he was represented because they weren't making fun of Mexican culture - Speedy has his own storylines. It feel like now everyone gets insulted too easily. I get that they have a right to voice how they feel, but at one point are they going to see themselves as possibly being too sensitive?

[@Randomyoutuber-4831]

no I think it's just part of the new generation that becomes offended too easily, they've just become so loud and influential that most of the remaining crowd are essentially intimidated into agreeing with their hyper SJW views out of fear of being labeled as a close minded bigot if they disagree.

[@LucIndustries]

I and my friends are "this generation" and I dont think the number of offended people changed much but if you where offended by something 30 years ago you didn't have quick access to almost every other offended person on the planet. If you found something offensive before the Invention of the internet you could write to the news, the person doing the offending or the government, maybe complain to your mates at the pub. Blaming "the new generation" feels very lazy because weirdly all the rough and "offensive" comedy and animation from the 80 and 90s is HUGE in pop culture these days, video games are as gruesome as ever but now in hd and you can just look at dead bodies online instead of paying the weird stranger behind your local supermarket. So most of us clearly love offensive stuff.

[@LucIndustries]

Also you keep forgetting that today it might be the SJWs crying about some racially charged joke but just a minute later its some old rich guy crying about inclusive pronouns and people wanting to earn living wages. Or ben shapiro crying about the sesame street being liberal propaganda. Ben is like 35, why is he so easily offended if the "new generation" is the problem?

Yeah, initial budgets are a bitch and many animated shows rely on voice actors to wear many hats. Being PC to appeal to a minority who complain just isnt in the budget a lot of times. And now that the character is like 20 years old it would be strange to change the voice actor. Although if they felt like cowtowing to these hateful whiners they could.

I don't live in that poverty anymore due to an industrious and hard working father who bent over backwards to give my family what it needed. Don't believe that demoralizing, self-destructive white guilt meme. It will only poison your mind and self-image.

I've never met a single person who hates Apu. I think Apu his one of the best characters on the show, not to mention he has the cutest children ever. Literally every character on the show is a stereotype of something or other. Also, love those stylised depictions of other characters, you should do them all.

Apu has always come on the other side of a parody character, he is not flawed, he is hyper compentent. Problem is, he is stuck at a dead end job because his programing skills are useless even by the time the episode that showed he had a degree on programing on Punch Card Computers aired.

[@four-en-tee]

Couldn't he have just learned other forms of programming? It shouldn't have been that hard to grasp (he'd just be building on fundamental knowledge), the only thing holding him back would've been the cost. Although, i also don't know how expensive college was back when the Simpsons was airing.

Why are accents considered racist? Like, if I'm trying to parody a person by asserting a stereotype then yeah, that's mean. But why is just doing an accent that's not yours automatically racist?

[@n0kt0h45]

Most accents are exaggerated, so if you sound like that, people are automatically going to call you racist for exaggerating accents. Either that, or they hate that race, so they'll call you out for using that accent. Or they LOVE that race, in which case they'll hate you for mocking their language. Even worse is when they ARE a member of that race

[@marakarthegreat]

repeat after me boys and girls "voice acting is seamless!"

[@Kaiwala]

Racism is the hatred of another person purely because of their skin tone. It's an unfounded fallacious response to a perfectly natural thing that people have, which cannot be controlled due to their genetics and birth. Using other cultures such as putting on an accent can be interpreted in many ways, some people may use an accent to mock that culture, some may do it out of love, others may just do it nonchalantly without caring because it's fun. All in all there are many ways to interpret words but there was only one intention when those words were said. The only reason why racism or the like is an issue is due to people being offended, and people wanting to prevent that. If we all developed enough of a personality to deal with it, such as playing off any comments that come your way, we would not have this issue. But because people have this idea of being good and virtuous and stopping all hardship in the world, they try to solve problems that don't really exist. It might be a modern thing from the SJW crowd, it might just be a thing ingrained in many people anyways, because it makes sense that people don't like some of the things that are said to them, so they think that if they make it so that nobody ever says that stuff, nobody gets harmed. But that's an extremely unproductive way of going about it. You cannot and arguably should not ever have people who decide how other people act socially. Stopping people from making remarks, be they harmful intentionally or not, is censorship. And censorship is arguably far more harmful than freedom of speech. All in all this discussion of racism and what should and shouldn't be allowed is just extremely tiring. It's not a good discussion because the people who advocate for more censorship mostly do it out of their own virtues, they make it out to be a benevolent act, but really it's extremely selfish and close minded. It's almost like they aren't willing to see the world for all the interesting colours and flavours it can be, so try to boil it down to just a few simple inoffensive terms to avoid being even the slightest bit sad on some days.
