Homer Simpson clearly needs to go. He promotes racist stereotypes of people of caucasian descent.

They don't need to drop the character, just change his role.

They could have a lot of fun with this.

Everything is Racist.

I’m surprised their yellow skin isn’t an issue.

What about groundskeeper Willie? Red haired, angry, kilt wearing Scottish guy...isn’t his over the top character racists too? (Yes, I know, he’s white...)

These days, Apu is not likely to be working at 7/11, he's more likely to be working at a tech company.

As previously mentioned, they're missing an opportunity to have some fun with this.

“One of the original writers of the Simpsons has apparently dismissed claims that Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu will be written out of the show.

Last week, producer and Youtuber Adi Shankar claimed that The Simpsons plans to 'drop the Apu character altogether'.

He is one of the shows most well-known characters but a documentary last year entitled The Problem with Apu sparked a fierce debate over his inclusion.

Now Al Jean, who is an executive producer, has responded on Twitter saying that Adi Shankar is not a spokesperson for the show.

He tweeted: 'Adi Shankar is not a producer on the Simpsons. I wish him the very best but he does not speak for our show'…”
