A little bit too family oriented to the point of feeling oppressive. If i make a family decision i should only have to discuss with my wife and child. My immediate family. I don't need all of your distant relatives chiming in too. She even gave elder in-laws authority in our relationship. I'm like this nikka aint even your kin.
She's like :dahell:He's my sisters husband and he's older than you, therefore his opinion on our personal life is valid.
:camby: had her mom and dad living with us for three months at time when they visited from india.

Would you date an Indian woman who doesn't come from a traditional Hindu background?

The Simpsons has been on TV since 1989, but not until almost 30 years later do people decide to suddenly get offended
I'm saying tho this is really a thing :dwillhuh:

At first I thought OP was just taking it upon himself to ask how we felt about Apu but people are legit offended by him as a character 3 decades later :gucci:

Above the fray.
Brilliant idea for a film.
I doubt that there is any real outrage on the comedian's part, but he's mining THE most popular tv series in American history for this topic.
He might have struck comic gold.


oh....and you knew it was coming ,right

Guy who does Apu does several voices on that show.

In MY opinion, other groups allow whites to openly mock/parody them and never say anything about it. When a Black guy mocks/parodies them..........they call him out and force an apology. If they stood up to whites I could respect it, but they don't..so I don't.

Apu's voice actor is white and so are the Simpson's show runners and writers

Breh with all due respect, that's not your call to make.

I'm not saying that Indians who have a problem with Apu don't exist. I'm saying it's not enough to warrant this type of attention. It's a made-up controversy bolstered by a few Indians who want to hitch a ride on the "I'm offended" bus.

Indians and Asians in general don't really give a fukk about things like representation in the media/tv/movies. They care about education and finances.

Its weird hearing a non-Indian tell Indian how much attention Indians should put towards things they care about but w/e i'll let ya'll rock.

This thread is strange
