So stupid.

I like Jews on the Simpsons. Sure they are stereotypes, but that’s a cartoon. It’s funny and clever (generally).

Matt has a very friendly way of saying, “Go F*** Yourself”.

So Hank Azaria thinks the only representation in all of American popular culture for the last 20 years of an Indian is,....... Apu!

My opinion of the Blue Raja has been lowered CONSIDERABLY!
I am dumbstruck!
I know actors live in their own little self-important worlds but words fail me.

Finally,
Matt Groening comes off much more down to Earth in this report thank Mr. Azaria, in my opinion.

So I’m not French, but I speak French. If I speak English with a French accent, I’m a bad person? If I speak French with a Parisian accent, am I appropriate Parisian culture? I don’t get how these people twist themselves into knots over this stuff. It defies logic, but they somehow are capable of making it make sense to themselves.

Cmon Matt - where’s all that liberal chest beating you did “speaking truth to oppression and Republican evils?”

Suddenly can’t speak truth to power as communist oppression overtakes the country?

They’ll come for you first

Groening ends each of his shows with a long liberal anti-conservative (often anti-Trump diatribe. You have to pause the recording to read it, but if you do, you will never see him the same way again.

Take a poll of every Indian in America and see if they give a crap about Apu being voiced by a white man. I’d guess the “yes” vote would amount to about 5 people.

I am proud of Apu. too, when I sent the new story of Apu ending his Simpsons career to my sons, that’s when I first realized they were woke. They said the Apu character must go. I was astonished.

Imagine an actor that is acting. Pretending to be something he’s not for a role on tv. Fake controversy.

Commie matt was on the lolita express.

Apu owns his own business and loves America.
Liberals hate that and that is why they wanted him gone.

I love The Simpsons, but nothing beats the Looney Tunes or Hanna Barbara cartoons.

And yet, after all these years, no one cares that the voice of the young white boy, Bart Simpson, has been voiced by a woman.

But then I started thinking, if that character were the only representation of Jewish people in American culture for 20 years, which was the case with Apu, I might not love that.”

Rajesh Ramayan "Raj" Koothrappali, Ph.D.an Astrophysicist at Caltech, would take issue with that...

FTA: The Simpsons also announced last year that non-white characters would no longer be voiced by white actors on the show

Who gets to voice the YELLOW Simpson characters?
