The Simpsons jumped the shark with the election of GW Bush and even more when writer John Swartzwelder left. It’s now s left wing show. The first 10-15 years it was ‘take no prisoners’. It’s time to turn the lights out.

This show has been on the air for almost 30 years. The voice actors are what? Pushing 70 now? It’s time to let it go.

‘The Simpsons’ Team Considering How to Handle Apu Backlash, Hank Azaria Says

Give me a break - what backlash? The Apu character has been on The Simpsons since the first season over a quarter of a century ago, while the Indian-American population was growing and no one ever cared. And now there's a backlash because one or two snowflakes whine about it?

Knock it off - the one thing I've admired about Asians in America is that they come here and work hard instead of complaining and asking for free stuff. As usual, the generation that was born here and educated in American schools has been infected with liberal mindlessness.

About a decade ago someone in Chicago got their panties in a wad over Apu. One of the hosts on WLS started a conversation about it. The Indian population was calling in in droves saying they liked the part and that he did them a service by humanizing them for people unfamiliar with their culture.

[Teacher317]

Liberals Unite! We must go act together as One People! We must fight against Stereotypes! We must fight against Cultural Appropriation! We must act NOW! Justice delayed is Justice denied!

Therefore, we must, in total solidarity, and in the name of Apu, boycott the Simpsons! But that, of course, is not nearly enough to cure the underlying disease in America. We must also boycott every single gas station and convenience store in America that employs even just one person of Indian heritage! Anyone with white skin seen entering, leaving, or ordering carry-out food from an Indian restaurant must be fined heavily, as well as chased by masked Antifa members with sticks. We must tear down every single Indian monument and image! Webpages containing photos of the Taj Mahal must be banished from the internet in the US! The flag if India must not be allowed to fly in NYC at the UN, nor should it fly at the Winter Olympics in February!

It is the only way to show our love and admiration for that special Indian Culture and heritage that built this country (rather than the white males who exploited them and pretend that they built it). If you fail to act with us, or if you refuse to comment on this movement in a positive manner, then you are part of the problem, and must be punished as well. Silence equals acceptance, and thus you are a Racist, and thus you must be re-educated, against your will, until you are no longer a threat to Social Justice anymore... one way or another.

(It is scary how close most of the Lunatic Left is to exactly this kind of public declaration.)
