>people call him a derogatory stereotype because... he has a thick accent and manages a convenience store
Seriously? That's it? If he were a filthy, misogynistic sex pest involved in a tech support scam, I could understand the outrage. But this is downright tame compared to some of the other stereotypes that appear on the show.

Only one Indian dude who was born outside of India who wanted his voice role for himself and their followers think he was a negative stereotype. Actual Indians want him to come back.

The fact pic related is what the Guys Simpsons self-insert looks like should tell you all you need to know about them.

I will never not think it's funny that around the same time Apu was removed, Indian hate soared to the skies. Now even ridiculously leftist Canadians will dislike I them.

If I were the show runner, I'd have replaced Apu with a 2020s racist Indian stereotype, then have him voiced by an Indian actor so they can't complain. Because I'm spiteful like that.

>>149108500
Wonder if his removal caused worse stereotypes to become prevalent.

you're a stupid zoomer. If Apu didn't exist to influence people understanding of Indians living in America, Vivek Ramaswamy would be President of the United States today.

DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEM

>Be hack comedian
>Remove Apu because the voice actor wasn't Indian, something that was commonplace at the time he was introduced instead of just changing the VA.
>People are sad because he was a genuinely well liked character
>Remember the episode where all the women if the show had a crush on him because he was treating his prospective wife very well with love, kindness and devoted gifts.
>Years later Apu is all but forgotten
>Indian hate at an all time high
>Seen as smelly, scammy rapists.
>Apu not in the Simpsons anymore so they can't make an episode about it to put Indians back in a positive light, because they would need to add a new character.
>If the modern team so much as thinks to make an episode where an Indian would be crushed on by the female cast they would get absolutely humiliated by everyone.
Be careful what you wish for.

I don't get why FOX would bow down to some comedian who no one cares about.

Apu used to be huge. A 7-11 was converted into a Kwik-E-Mart.

The Simpsons really cared about Apu and did a lot of things to help him. They helped him with immigration, they helped him when he lost the Kwik-E-Mart. It was a good message to see the Simpsons care about someone who was very different racially, culturally, and religiously from them.

You think he will forever be remembered for this then get completely forgotten in some way, only remembered as a bookmark?
What’s he even doing nowadays

i'm glad it backfired on him, shame we all lose but hey he's the biggest loser in all this.

I can't think of a bigger hypocrisy than jeets screeching about racism but being completely fine with the caste system that is basically apartheid on steroids

the jeets who screech about racism are usually brahman-descended who immigrated to first world countries.

It's only suppose to happen to other people, not to them
