“The Simpsons” won’t have any repeats of Hank Azaria voicing Apu.
The producers behind the show issued a statement Friday saying that from now on, its characters of color will be voiced by actors of color only.
“Moving forward, ‘The Simpsons’ will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters,” the statement read.
News of the decision comes less than an hour after Mike Henry announced he will no longer voice the character of Cleveland Brown on fellow Fox animated comedy “Family Guy.”

However black actors can portray white characters like in the play ‘Hamilton’.
White is the new black I guess.
Ban The Pelican Brief...in John Grisham’s book the professor was white...
Sorry Denzel...
Another thing, except for Krusty, none of them are ‘white’. They’re all yellow. Better change that or it’ll offend asians I guess.
Does this mean they will recast Bart Simpson, who is voiced by Nancy Cartwright?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
NO more female reporters in MENS locker rooms UNLESS(-of course) Men reporters are allowed in FEMALE locker rooms etc...
Well, this, combined with Oregon and Oregon State no longer calling their sportsball rivalry a “civil war” will probably solve “racisms” for all eternity.”

Why aren’t all the actors and producers banned for life?
Why don’t they get cancelled?
Lol Apu. Tbh that is a pretty racist character but funny. Comedy based on stereotypes is funny and absurd. Sheesh
Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng were geniuses.
Does a Jewish actor portray Krusty?
I never understood that.
Whew. That’s edgy.
And wait till they find out that all of the Germans in “Hogan’s Heroes” were played by Jewish actors.
slippery slope.
Isn’t a woman playing Bart’s voice?
Oh, forgot, double standards are THE standard for liberals.
That would mean Bob’s Burgers would be nearly mute.
more racism out of Hollywood, eh?
what if a white actor can do a better job?
sometimes occasionally its at least a possibility that a white person might be able to do a good job
but if s/he’s now going to be excluded from consideration based on this racist edict..... how does this make the producers feel any better that they’re OUTing their new racist thinking for the entire world to see?
I occasionally play Popeye cartoons on Youtube for the grandchildren.
They humor me.
THANK YEW! *DING* *DING* *DING*
