This is actually a very good point towards the fact that most of their characters purport a stereotype of one type or another... and for years (30 or so it seems) that humorous take was used to break down tensions between race and culture. Apu specifically, while being very stereotypical, was a character that we didn't just see behind the counter, we had episodes that showed his home life and religion making that a part of normal American culture.
But this is how our new societal norms are now... we are certainly in a new era.
