It's a shitty look.

They were better off not addressing it at all, to be honest.
Apr 09th 2018
2
Right? The even took Lisa down with them.
Apr 10th 2018
18
Ugh.
Apr 09th 2018

i have a razor sharp clear memory of my dad
Apr 09th 2018

They've been getting away with this so long, they dont want to change.
Apr 09th 2018

Kill Apu off, so then the complaints will be 'no diversity"
Apr 09th 2018
6
so the only options are racist charicature or no diversity?
Apr 11th 2018

      'twas a joke, man.
Apr 26th 2018

They should hire an Indian American actor to play him BUT
Apr 09th 2018

lol all of a sudden he's Russell Peters.
Apr 10th 2018

The idea that being more sensitive makes us less funny is bullshit.
Apr 09th 2018

I do think to SOME extent comedy is based on misfortune
Apr 09th 2018
10
      misfortune/struggle as a source of humor isn't the issue.
Apr 10th 2018
15
      so here's an example
Apr 10th 2018
21
           That actually DID happen with the Apu character
Apr 11th 2018
47
the very first time i saw Apu i thought it was the funniest thing ever
Apr 09th 2018

when I was a kid

I didn't think I would ever be ok with the Simpson going away but this d...

isnt apu one of the smartest & hardest working ppl in springfield
Apr 09th 2018
12
Yeah but he’s got a lame stereotypical accent voiced by a white guy
Apr 10th 2018
13
This is the type of shit white people say to defend racist shit.
Apr 10th 2018
16
HELLO.
Apr 10th 2018
17
basically
Apr 10th 2018
19
      sorry for not watching the show much an having a genuine question
Apr 10th 2018
23
           If you saw the Black doctor character on the Simpsons
Apr 10th 2018
24
                yeah because i dont know any black ppl that sound like that
Apr 10th 2018
25
                     So here's what's getting lost
Apr 10th 2018
26
                          That's his issue (Hari Kondabolu )
Apr 10th 2018
27
                               Raj on Big Bang Theory is a stereotype? How so?
Apr 11th 2018
29
                               His parents are rich
Apr 11th 2018
33
                                    Being a rich Indian is a stereotype?
Apr 11th 2018
34
                                    So it's just one sterotype thats bad?
Apr 11th 2018
42
                                    probably because its based in reality
Apr 11th 2018
40
                               Nobody is mad at the Simpsons for not fixing the world
Apr 11th 2018
45
Bruh.. not like this
Apr 11th 2018
32
Apu is the only serious character on the whole show
Apr 10th 2018
22
isnt the yt hillbilly character just as stereotypical?
Apr 11th 2018
28
The writers are aware. They had a bowling team called "The Stereotypes"
Apr 11th 2018
30
In a town full of non-stereotypical white characters
Apr 11th 2018
35
      Is Homer not a stereotypical white person?
Apr 11th 2018
41
      Springfield is ostensibly filled with stereotypically dumb white people
Apr 11th 2018
43
      The characters all seem almost cartoon-ish
Apr 11th 2018
46
      almost
Apr 11th 2018
49
      how many others are racial stereotypes?
Apr 18th 2018
79
           Honestly, a lot
Apr 18th 2018
80
                they're all white except for Bumblebee Man
Apr 22nd 2018
84
                     Exactly. Which is what I said in the first place
Apr 26th 2018
91
                          which is why i asked how many are racial stereotypes, as in non-white.
Apr 26th 2018
92
      That's still a group of rich people making fun of people
Apr 11th 2018

Hari is the most annoying kind of SJW
Apr 11th 2018
31
Nobody is more annoying that people who use SJW non-ironically.
Apr 11th 2018

people like Sam Harris and Dave Rubin

Apr 12th 2018

You mean, like a documentary about representation in media?
Apr 18th 2018
77
      Were there original characters in his documentary?
Apr 19th 2018
81
           I don't have to be a carpenter to tell you your chair's fucked up.
Apr 20th 2018

                It's definitely a skill/valid form of film.
Apr 20th 2018
83
points deducted for use of "SJW" foul ball.
Apr 11th 2018
62

Apr 12th 2018

Apr 13th 2018
68

Apr 17th 2018

           SJW and "virtue signaling" are pretty good imo

Stereotypes and cop-outs, call 'em what you want - it's "edgy" to
Apr 11th 2018
53
      Apu wasn't designed to be edgy. lol
