Another scalp for the Social Justice Warriors (SJWs).

Of course, the hillbillie white redneck accent is acceptible!!! Why not make all characters of all shows computer generated? -sarc

[freedumb2003]

Better to have NO Indian at all.

That makes sense. I suspect other characters of color will just not be depicted for fear of offending someone, somewhere.

I am really disappointed in Groening — I thought he was really anti-PC.

[Flintlock]

Poor Apu.

Shot in his store by some “undocumented” MS-13 beaner “Dreamer”?

[rwilson99]

He will die of an opioid overdose.

[FreeAtlanta]

lol, yeah, they will drop him from a plane. The Simpsons thrives on controversy.

[Trump-a-licious]

Will never watch another episode, I knew they’d eventually cave to the PC crowd

[SoFloFreeper]

Gutless.

[Phillyred]

So it is okay ro get rid of Indians because they’re offensive? Have they asked Indian people or is this just another example of privileged white college liberals acting offended and speaking for everyone else? Is the Scottish janitor next?

[VanDeKoik]

Haven’t watched the show since 2002, and this really makes me sad.

The guy was a admirable character that loved his job, family, and loved being an american + he was a proud gun owner.

[subterfuge]

So now portraying an accent is racist?

[catnipman]

Apu was one of the few normal characters on the show ... successful small business owner, common sense, etc. ... yes, that’s definitely a terrible was to depict east indians ...

[HamiltonJay]

Stupidity. Sheer stupidity

[ealgeone]

No biggie to me. I’ve never watched the show.

[Vermont Lt]

They should sell the store to a bunch of Millenial Gays and let the Simpson’s satirize that.

Lets see how that goes.

It's ok for Joe Biden to say “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking.” However, it's racist for a fictional cartoon character to be an Indian immigrant Kwiki Mart owner. I need to duct tape my head back together.

[IronJack]

the character ... speaks in a stereotypical Indian accent

I work with dozens of Indians. That's exactly what they sound like. It's a stereotype FOR A REASON!!!

And by the way, nobody has a problem with Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel speaking in a "stereotypical" Southern hick accent. And I remember an episode in which Germans took over the nuclear plant; their speech was rife with cliches like "Ach du lieber" and "Gott in Himmel."

And then there was the French waiter, the Japanese soap maker, Fat Tony the Italian mafioso ... All stereotypical characters that no one seemed to mind.

[robel]

They could make all the characters NPCs, but that would insult the SJWs.

[SJSAMPLE]

Gutless.
The Simpsons itself is a stereotype of every possible character. Apu got a pretty tame treatment compared to Homer, Cletus, the one-armed gun dealer, et al.

[meadsjn]

the character, who speaks in a stereotypical Indian accent,

Deport him for visa fraud. Problem solved.
