are you indian? or middle eastern? If not, of course you don't give a fukk.
My daughter is half indian, but she isn't even aware of the show. The humor and offense prolly goes over my ex-wife's head so... no biggie to them.
but if they were offended by it any non Indian opinions would be irrelevant to the conversation.

we got another Stephon Clark on our hands

A fleeting childhood
I never liked his stanning of America :manny: . Aside from that, no major qualms with him from the episodes that i have seen. He was hard working, had an accent and a family and was trying to better himself and his family even if it didn't happen in all of these seasons

i kind of don’t give a fukk
On the other hand, even the Black dude in the show is just a regular dude

On the other other hand, if the worst stereotype about your people is a foreign accent and convenience stores, I think you whining too much

Social media makes ppl feel like they can dictate things by committee but the Simpsons handled it all wrong

Apu been on the air for 25 years and now the fake outrage brigade shows up? fukk dat.

They better #HYON

I learned my lesson, i'll never date another indian woman, but i'm not about to disown my flesh and blood for the cause. I'm all she got. and i want her to have pride in both sides

pride in a side who will never accept her and look at her as trash because she is black?

this is the type of shyt when being PC is going too far. character is older than half the bleeding heart PC police blogging/tweeting about it. like gtfoh, wanna be offended by a 30 year old character. he's an indian that owns a convenience store...are they mad he wasn't an IT worker? is making a honest living OWNING a damn store embarassing or some shyt?

they've never been crazy disrespectful to the indian culture via him. they make their jokes as the simpsons do, but otherwise, he's an integral character whose nationality isn't near being at the forefront of most his storylines.

I'm more intrigued by the whole

"@♤|☆♡~%#×₩ is Indian"

drama that has been going strong for a long time now.

And the Breh @€&+%□●♧¿ always get super mad and types in caps how he's *NOT* Indian

Like.

How does this begin? Why can't a simple photo squash it? Why are his detractors so persistent?

So many questions

I feel like every week I hit play on the dvr and wonder for 30 minutes why I still watch the Simpsons. Lately I been deleting the episodes before finishing. Don't think I'll be messing with it much longer.

So in essence the Apu problem won't be an issue for me soon.

I'm cold blooded I guess. I gave up on Simpsons so long ago.

I remember thinking the original people that wrote Simpsons must have moved on to Futurama. So it was around the time Futurama began.

Every time I try with them, it's horrible. I almost forgot about them.

I watched SNL on purpose for the fifth time in about 20 years this year.

He specifically SAID he was Indian. And then later switched and said that he was black and he only said it because he was not sure how he he would be received on a hip hop board....as a black man.:francis:


Which makes zero fukking sense.:francis:



When pressed about it he ignores and deflects. Or he posts a picture of his hairy curry stained arm and says it’s proof that he is black:mjpls:
