‘The Simpsons’ Will ‘No Longer Have White Actors Voice Non-White Characters
Variety ^ | June 26th, 2020 | David Buchan

Posted on 06/26/2020 5:29:37 PM PDT by LouieFisk

“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.”

The Left was just waiting for something in this election year.

Tex Avery was a master.

One of my favorites is “Bad Luck Blackie”

Then there is the wolf character “Howdy y’all, y’all, y’all, y’all.”

So instead of two talented people doing the voices for 12 different characters, they may have to employ 12 new employees if the race and sex and actual age don’t match up.

That’s going to add to production costs, and will probably result in much fewer different characters being featured.
Silly.

“Where will they find the yellow people to voice their yellow characters?”

Maybe they can borrow a few minions?

The thing is, the actor does a great job in that role and I don’t care what color he is.

The show morphed from entertaining early on to bitter politicized BS; my children asked years ago why we stopped watching it, and I replied that it wasn’t funny anymore.

Wait until advertisers see how little they can get from the losers that are left watching the sanitized PC TV shows...

Have they announced yet that...

Only animators who are people of color will be drawing the people of color characters in every scene.

Of course a lot of the animation work for these shows is done outside of the U.S.

They’re so proud of this, when what they’re producing is make-believe.

You can’t make this stuff up.

With the amount of cgi being used for that character the skin color hardly mattered but I liked the personality the actor brought to the character...white or black. The personality made the role work.
