    I'm Scottish, and the only thing that ever offended me on the Simpsons was when Homer went to Scotland, saw a Loch Ness Monster statue that said *"Aberdeen sucks"* written on it, and Homer responded with *"No way, Aberdeen rules!"*
    I'm from Aberdeen. It does suck.

Changing his accent wouldn't make sense, changing his voice actor but keeping the accent wouldn't change the fact that he's a stereotype and changing his whole personality, job, story, etc would probably feel as out of place as Barney being sober.

    All of my Indian friends hate that Apu was removed, it was their favourite character- it was MY favourite character too, and I'm European. He's one of the smartest characters in the whole show, and often serves to show just how DUMB American culture can be, and how he has to dumb himself down to fit in.
    I feel like people who think that Apu was a negative racial stereotype weren't really paying attention, at all. Same kinda people who see mini-skirts in star-trek and think it's sexist, when in reality it was feminism and at the time, so progressive it nearly got them canceled.

      Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a gay character having some stereotypical aspects as long as it's not derailing their characterization to make them do something stereotypical because a writer somehow felt the need to fill a stereotype quota.
      The problem is when a show consistently writes gay characters that way & acts like it's normal. Like Family Guy. The gay characters in that show are almost incapable of having a personality trait other than "does stuff you'd expect from a gay character". As a result, they're barely characters. They're just vehicles for jokes.
      Though the same could be said for any modern Family Guy character.

    That was beautiful. It kinda blows my mind seeing how many of the cartoon characters from my childhood had funny accents, and how much we would lose if they were all taken away. This is a really important video and I honestly think anyone should see it, Simpsons fan or not. It honestly transcends the Apu discussion and becomes even more meaningful as a broader discussion of race and culture and how that relationship interacts with comedy, and how important that interaction is to our society. I'm almost sad you drew that beautiful picture of naked Apu because I would have loved to share this with my family and colleagues, but your taboo-ignoring oddball humor only made the video more poignant as a celebration of wackiness, and why it's so important to our society. Bravo.

    i feel like its also very easy to draw parallels from apu to chef from south park. chef is a large black man, who randomly bursts into r&b song when giving advice, is a sex magnet, and essentially falls into most stereotypes of a black man (albeit, the ones that are percieved as positive, but they are still stereotypes.) however, he is one of the most well rounded people in south park. when he was in the show he was always the only truly levelheaded person in town, and stan, kyle, kenny and cartman almost always went to him when they needed advice. he was never the butt of the joke, either, it was always someone else, usually a white person, making an absolute fool of themselves through racism directed at chef.
    stereotypes in satirical comedies have always been a thing. they are usually, in my opinion, some of the most enjoyable characters to watch, too. excellent video, man.

      Thick accents can't be represented? They'll never be more than a stereotype, because people can't look past it?

    Your love for Mario is similar to the love Mexicans have for Speedy Gonzalez. He's a fun representative of our culture. Do we have accents? Some us do. Do we wear sombreros? Its definitely part of the culture.
    Speedy is a representative of us in the Looney Tunes era where Mexicans were otherwise not represented at all. It was a fun tongue-in-cheek way to laugh at our own culture. Its possible for another culture to represent another as long as its not degrading. I have no problem with the legendary Mel Blanc voicing Speedy or the way he was represented because they weren't making fun of Mexican culture - Speedy has his own storylines.
    It feel like now everyone gets insulted too easily. I get that they have a right to voice how they feel, but at one point are they going to see themselves as possibly being too sensitive?

      no I think it's just part of the new generation that becomes offended too easily, they've just become so loud and influential that most of the remaining crowd are essentially intimidated into agreeing with their hyper SJW views out of fear of being labeled as a close minded bigot if they disagree.

      I and my friends are "this generation" and I dont think the number of offended people changed much but if you where offended by something 30 years ago you didn't have quick access to almost every other offended person on the planet.
      If you found something offensive before the Invention of the internet you could write to the news, the person doing the offending or the government, maybe complain to your mates at the pub.
      Blaming "the new generation" feels very lazy because weirdly all the rough and "offensive" comedy and animation from the 80 and 90s is HUGE in pop culture these days, video games are as gruesome as ever but now in hd and you can just look at dead bodies online instead of paying the weird stranger behind your local supermarket. So most of us clearly love offensive stuff.

It’s really sad to see that they basically axed Apu, but managed to get new VAs for Carl, Lou, and Dr. Hibbert that fit the roles really well. If anything despite this whole thing being a response to “Making sure minorities are better represented” the lack of Apu just comes off as “Your group is not important enough for us to bring Apu back despite every one loving this character”.

    I'm a white woman who grew up watching The Simpsons. I haven't seen the show in years, but Apu was _always_ my favourite character. I was a kid, but I didn't see him as an Indian stereotype and I didn't like him because of his accent. He was a genuine, kind, and hardworking guy who loves his family and friends. Yes, of course, there are some cliches to his character, as with _every_ character on the show, but he's so much more than just a convenience store owner. One of my favourite episodes was when he went on a pilgrimage with Homer, and Homer kept screwing up the entire journey. At the end, Apu beats the crap out of Homer for ruining everything, and I cheered! As a lower middle class white kid, I sympathised and identified with an Indian character in a comedy show. It's almost like ... he was a good character.

      Most accents are exaggerated, so if you sound like that, people are automatically going to call you racist for exaggerating accents.
      Either that, or they hate that race, so they'll call you out for using that accent. Or they LOVE that race, in which case they'll hate you for mocking their language.

      Racism is the hatred of another person purely because of their skin tone. It's an unfounded fallacious response to a perfectly natural thing that people have, which cannot be controlled due to their genetics and birth.
      Using other cultures such as putting on an accent can be interpreted in many ways, some people may use an accent to mock that culture, some may do it out of love, others may just do it nonchalantly without caring because it's fun. All in all there are many ways to interpret words but there was only one intention when those words were said.
      The only reason why racism or the like is an issue is due to people being offended, and people wanting to prevent that. If we all developed enough of a personality to deal with it, such as playing off any comments that come your way, we would not have this issue. But because people have this idea of being good and virtuous and stopping all hardship in the world, they try to solve problems that don't really exist. It might be a modern thing from the SJW crowd, it might just be a thing ingrained in many people anyways, because it makes sense that people don't like some of the things that are said to them, so they think that if they make it so that nobody ever says that stuff, nobody gets harmed.
      But that's an extremely unproductive way of going about it. You cannot and arguably should not ever have people who decide how other people act socially. Stopping people from making remarks, be they harmful intentionally or not, is censorship. And censorship is arguably far more harmful than freedom of speech.
      All in all this discussion of racism and what should and shouldn't be allowed is just extremely tiring. It's not a good discussion because the people who advocate for more censorship mostly do it out of their own virtues, they make it out to be a benevolent act, but really it's extremely selfish and close minded. It's almost like they aren't willing to see the world for all the interesting colours and flavours it can be, so try to boil it down to just a few simple inoffensive terms to avoid being even the slightest bit sad on some days.

And that's the whole point. I wish we stopped being offended so much. Thank you Apu for letting the world know more about Hinduism and cows and vegan life and hanging out with Sir Paul and Linda and fighting fire and selling greasy dogs and working hard and fathering 8 kids and singing so well and being in a band and driving posh cars and fighting organic stores and making me smile.

    I think one example of the point of why accents are important in voice acting is The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy; Maxwell Atoms didn't originally envision Grim as being Jamaican, but Greg Eagles decided to try a Jamaican accent in one take for his audition for the role, and he realized that was what was missing from his character, so an accent helped to create one of the most iconic Cartoon Network characters of all time.

  • @AllTheOthers

    Apu was objectively not a racist caricature. That comes from the fact that racism is simply not subjective and can't have its definition changed to suit the beliefs of some sad group of people who just want to hate things. Racism is the prejudice, antagonization, or discrimination of a race. No boxes being ticked, means no racism. Not only that but one of my coworkers at the time said that he disagreed with the hate-mob, and said that he thought the character was fine. Why should this co-worker matter? Cause he was a man of Indian descent, who had for a time worked in a convenience store. He later used the money to get a job programming.

I like to argue a that white as a term is rather lazy as it forcefully group cultures together, the same goes for stuff like black or Asian. these terms may make sense to apply intercountry but don't function that well on a bigger scale, after all most people would rather default to their nationality or ethnicity over race, but if i am to entertain the notion of race.
