It used to be my favorite program.
It has probably been 15 years since I have watched it.
It just died. The should have gone ahead and buried it.
So “step aside” and let someone else do his voice. He’s existed since the beginning - unless you kill him off he’s part of the story. Maybe he should get shot by some inner city “teens” if you want to make a statement.
"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.
I thought he had made this decision over a year ago.
If the character is that popular, they’ll find someone else to do voice overs. I can’t blame him. Who needs the aggravation? Now, the same people will be saying Indian characters are ‘disturbingly underrepresented’ on The Simpsons.

Prolly sucks to be on the losing team.
I always thought Apu was one of the best supporting characters. If you want to be offended by any character on the Simpsons, pick one. They’re all pretty outrageous...even goody-two-shoes Lisa.
Hank will also return the millions and millions and millions of dollars he has received.
As a hetero, white male I demand the Simpsons be cancelled because of the negative stereotypes of ALL THE WHITE MALES are portrayed a evil, greedy, stupid, hypocritical, bumbling murderous....
Oh wait... That only works if you are a minority or female.
Never mind..
Come on Apu! We all know you can’t go into a Kwik-E Mart unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Hmm. Now where have I heard that before? :) *thinking*
And get rid of this guy, too.
Oh, wait. I forgot that it’s okay to make fun of white men. Never mind.
Coward.
He should tell the weenie little snow flakes to F*** off.
Another causality of the SJW outrage mob.

yup
I can’t even tell you the last time they even had the character speak on the show...
Stupid...
A good character killed by stupidity
Yes, let’s crush the ugly stereotype that Indian immigrants tend to embrace America’s entrepreneurial spirit and thrive in capitalism. In case Mr. Azaria hasn’t noticed, Simpsons characters are frozen in time. They don’t really evolve. You know, like neither Bart nor Lisa have grown up? And Maggie has been a baby for 32 years now? Hello?
There are a thousand people who could do Apu’s voice and 99% of viewers wouldn’t even notice. But instead, the show will likely either cave or delete his character.
Black actors voice white characters and no one complains.
Either apply the libtardity equally or eliminate it. They have to live it or it better damn well be dropped.
So they get rid of a minority character that accurately represents many minorities.
