Default The Simpsons Indian character Apu 'axed' after racial controversy

[The Simpsons is going to drop Indian character
Apu following a backlash against
alleged racial stereotyping, a producer has claimed.
Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
will be quietly written out

of the long-running TV cartoon
series to "avoid the controversy", Adi Shankar said.
The Indian-American producer said he was told by two people who work
on the show and a third source who works with creator Matt Groening.]

Sneak him out of the Story's
typical Disney like action.
