Azaria, who portrayed a flaming, effeminate homo in "The Bird Cage". His stereotypical part was actually the funniest thing in that movie.
But we can't go around perpetuating stereotypes. Most convenience stores aren't run by middle-Easterners. Most motels aren't run by people from India. Oh...wait...

Apu’s voice will now be done by a mime.

And nobody cares that Bart is voiced by a woman? Or that those two goofy aliens aren’t voiced by actual goofy aliens???
I don’t. But I don’t care that Apu was voiced by a “white” guy (Azaria) and the character’s wife was once voiced by the late Jan Hooks, either.
Times are incredibly, absurdly good when we’re down to complaining about the ethnicity of who voices cartoon (i.e., illustrated!!!) characters!

There aren’t any white people on the Simpsons. All those that arguably are...are yellow.

"The Simpsons" has been on for 30 years. 30 friggin' years. Now suddenly one of their main recurring characters is "controversial". The woke scold snowflakes will kill all comedy.Making it worse is that these people are listened to instead of being blown off. Why should they be treated as if they mattered?
Some years back, TNT cancelled a Charlie Chan marathon because some crybabies said it was "Racist". Corporate America is made up of gutless wonders.

The Scots wear their “stereotypes” with pride.
Why?
Because they’re not secretly ashamed of themselves, like all the other whiners.

Or like Isaac Hayes, who was only too happy to ridicule everyone and everything as Chef on South park...until they poked his sacred cow, the “Church” of Scientology.
And just like that, he gone.
