Simpsons has been on TV for almost 30 years !!! . Longer if you include the short clips from the Tracy Ullmen show .

Why is Apu who is just a character of many on a comedy cartoon all of a sudden classed as racist?? . All the characters are tongue in cheek . Non of them are about being accurate and I don't find any of them offensive.

Nobody seems to mind the angry Scots man groudskeeper Willie though? who lives in a shack .

Or the Mexican guy dressed as a bee for his sitcoms ?? who's always accident prone as he screams in Spanish .

Clearly The Simpsons is an easy target ,I don't see complaints about south Park or family guy who literally do tasteless jokes and offend everyone .

I don't understand why all of a sudden ,years later now people are offended and why have they picked on Apu??. Or is this the start of all the characters who are minority "stereotypes" getting axed as well .
