The Simpsons removed Apu from the show after some seething indian blogger made a video bitching about Apu's portrayal throughout the series. Now, instead of a funny and lovable indian character people can identify with the Simpsons has none. People are instead left to grapple with nothing but IRL indians who act nothing like Apu (points to the seething blogger for noticing this I suppose) and only serve to lower the public's overall perception of indians.

>Apu was hard working
>devoted father
>good husband
>loved America
>valued member of the community

I don't know how The Simpsons got away with this for so long.
