 "The Simpsons have confirmed that controversial character Apu will be cut out of future episodes. The long-running show has come under fire for it’s depiction of Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, with viewers complaining that the character promotes racist stereotypes of people of Indian and Asian descent."

Pretty soon every character will be like the comatose morons in white coats as in the original Time Machine movie (1960).  | |||

The racist stereotype of... being the one reasonable, successful character on the show? I don't actually watch the Simpsons but from the little I've seen, I always got the impression he was the only one with his shit even a little bit together. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^ I haven't watched the show in maybe 10 years, but "controversial" character? No wonder guys like Seinfeld and Chris Rock don't want to perform in front of leftist snowflakes. They can't take a fuckin' joke.

How many convenience stores and inexpensive non-chain motels (Patel Motels, as I like to call them) are owned by Indians? I don't know, but it's gotta be a lot. | |||

So the Simpson family is supposed to be typical white people? Mr. Burns is a typical executive? Or is it just ok to stereotype white people but no one else? ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

Can Apu claim he's being discriminated against? He's being singled out and kicked out of the cast....  God bless America. | |||

i will watch this show as long as they make it. Unless, of course, they start changing it. Like, if they were to eliminate a character just to be PC.  | |||
