****ing ridiculous. The Simpsons satirically makes fun of every race, background and religion and just one example gets singled out, and it's one of the more level-headed and better represented characters. If an Indian is getting abused and compared to Apu as an insult, how is that the show's fault instead of the one doing the abuse? They might as well just cancel out every single character if one is being taken an issue with this much.

Hm I feel like this will be a given but does this mean that his family will be cut out as well?

Pathetic, but it's what the people who whined about it deserve. Now they can whine about lack of representation all together I guess.

Erm... he's been on the show 30 years hasn't he?
Isn't it a bit late to say "Hang on this is offensive!" I wonder how many of the offended are actually Asian. |

Did... did you miss the entire second paragraph of the article in the OP?
(this has been going on for about a year now and the show's initial response to the documentary was frankly pitiful) |

The maker of the documentary is not an isolated complaint. It's also ridiculous since it acknowledges "stereotypes" but fails to make a good argument for racism so why this stereotype or satire is suddenly offensive but none of the others are is utterly absurd.

I don't really get why ppl are so up in arms about this... firstly, not having Apu on your tv anymore won't really affect you, and secondly it's quite obvious that the stereotyping they use for Apu is quite different to any other on the show...

Grounds keeper Willie is going nowhere because despite being every bit as stereotypical and funny as Apu, your Jocks have nae problem laughing at themselves

Silently dropping him won't silently drop his character in the 100s of episodes that he'll still be in tho
