Who voices APU in all of the other countries’ versions?

He’s still ‘apologizing’ for this, years later?
Apologizing for voicing a cartoon.
He should realize by now, with the perpetually offended, apologies don’t change anything. They just want to see you sweat. Stop giving ‘them’ that pathetic satisfaction.
To: MJacks4
I doubt that most Indians care....they are a very successful minority.
More “apology” madness.

Has Apu been removed yet from all past Simpsons episodes?

Let’s see Hank Azaria return every penny he earned with this “slur”.

The real reason the Left hates Apu...

Hank has chosen surrender.
Idiot.

> it didn’t help that the Indian immigrant was voiced by a white actor <
Yes, this is a great outrage. But it gets even worse. Seth MacFarlane voices Brian on “Family Guy”. And MacFarlane is not a canine! Why the American Kennel Club has not lodged a protest is beyond me.

Like many such controversies, I imagine there are less than half a dozen campus activists or paid SJW radicals somewhere who are the ones pushing this. I doubt its an issue that South Asians care about at all.

This post explains this ridiculous POV:

This is a much more important read than I would have suspected. The only "truth" important to the Marxists is:
The world must first be viewed in terms of the Oppressed and the Oppressor, and ALWAYS in TERMS OF RACE!

Surrender doesn’t work with these people. Apologies are taken as submission and they will demand more and greater submission or else. They feed on souls, not apologies.

Gee it’s almost as if the only person allowed to denigrate or make fun of are white people. Well, specifically white males. Well...I mean conservative white males. Wait...white conservative heterosexual males.
To: a fool in paradise
Oh Yes Yes, we must apologize and become woke.

Stereotypical? Well, isn't it TRUE that most recent immigrants from India or Pakistan speak with an accent? Aren't many involved in the operation of convenience stores? (As Joe Biden famously pointed out.) And wasn't this character portrayed in a favorable light?
The subtext of many of these criticisms of "stereotypes" seems to be that it is degrading to exhibit some of the common characteristics of your ethnic group. Isn't that itself racist?
For example, it was "safe" on the left to mock Melania Trump's accent because she's white, European, and the wife of Trump. So you see how quickly the left is to engage in behavior that they condemn others for, as long as the target is on the approved-to-hate list.
To: MJacks4
Lol. Apu was one of the most competent characters on the Simpsons. Too bad these woke idiots knuckled under to that scheming scumbag Hari Kondabolu.
