‘The Simpsons’ Will ‘No Longer Have White Actors Voice Non-White Characters
Variety ^ | June 26th, 2020 | David Buchan

Posted on 06/26/2020 5:29:37 PM PDT by LouieFisk

“The Simpsons” won’t have any repeats of Hank Azaria voicing Apu.

The producers behind the show issued a statement Friday saying that from now on, its characters of color will be voiced by actors of color only.

“Moving forward, ‘The Simpsons’ will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters,” the statement read.

News of the decision comes less than an hour after Mike Henry announced he will no longer voice the character of Cleveland Brown on fellow Fox animated comedy “Family Guy.”

I saw a waitress who looked almost exactly like her. She was part Japanese instead of Chinese. She was, of course, also smoking hot.

My goodness, I knew she was hot but that is off the scale.

She definitely looks good in yellow.

I thought that wonderful Civil Rights Act said that color didn’t matter

Oh I guess it does as long as it’s whitey taking it up the butt

I love 3-7 really. 2 had a few good ones, then after 7 is went downhill fast. My 10 it was more or less done.

So the Simpson’s become the muppets post Henson, with screwed up voices ?!?

These people are nuts. How is any of this racism?

I thought they already got rid of Apu. Or are they saying they’re actually going to go back and redub every old episode?

Ok so besides the fact the show isn’t funny, all the characters that aren’t brown or black are yellow! Does that mean that only orientials are going to be doing their voices?

Let "The Simpsons" die already. Jeeze, they've been milking that cow far too long.

The Simpletons haven’t been entertaining in years. Who cares what politically correct, sjw crap they do.

Once they did The Simpsons Movie (which was great) it pretty much tanked.

I agree on all points. We sure could use a dozen or so of those EPA domes right now.

I occasionally play Popeye cartoons on Youtube for the grandchildren.

They humor me.

Oh, indeed - especially the ones from the early 1940s. There was one where the three nephews asked, in unison, "Didja kill plenty of Japs, Uncle Popeye?" Wow.

Better get copies of the "banned" cartoons of that era before they've been totally zapped.
