Some thoughts as an Indian dude...





The worst part about Apu isn't the fact its Hank Azaria doing the voice. Or even the fact that the character was used at this weapon towards us.



The worst to me is the lingering effects it had on Hollywood and young Indian talent getting put on. Getting put on WITHOUT needing to do that goddamn accent or act like anything other than what we are.


Or for a whole new generation of Indians to have their "Apu"



Can't tell you how many times I've recently heard "Oh your name is Raj. Like on the Big Bang Theory!" Fuck all the way out of here.
