The Problem With Apu - Designated Shitposting Thread

[Gordon Cole]

So today, I stumbled across The Problem With Apu. A documentary all about how Apu from The Simpsons is a tool by whitey to keep the Indians down leaving behind a "problematic" impact. "Problem" is literally in the title. This ought to be good.

Leave your thoughts and comments down below.

Ah yes, the Simpsons. The same show that portrays Italian-Americans as mafiosi stereotypes and countryside whites as inbred hillbillies from the 19th century. Yeah, Indians have it tough, don't they?

So does this mean the the yellow-skined people are racist caricatures towards Asians?

I don't care what anyone thinks, Apu is fucking hilarious and so is Fisher Stevens from the Short Circuit movies as well as Peter Sellers from The Party.

Nobody watches The Simpsons anymore, it died like 17 years ago. Why bother making a documentary about Apu?

 

[Kevin Spencer]

It's always funny until it insults or hits too close to home. What a faggot.

Some people can't keep their mouths shut!

The Simpsons have been doing stereotypes since forever and now they are complaining?

But muh representation means it's worth wasting money and time over.

At the risk of being down voted, this looks interesting. I love (the classic) Simpsons, but I'm curious to see this.

Yes, because Indians are never seen running 24/7 convenience stores with Ganesha statues in this day and age ever. Truly despicable.

Clearly The Simpsons are to blame for instilling racist views into the former Vice President of the United States

IIRC Apu was actually praised back then for having more depth than most Indian caricatures at the time.

Yeah, people like Apu. Gil is the side character everyone is sick of.

Dunno, seems like typical SJW whining about first world problems.

 

[Shokew]

This is nothing new, nor is it something that will amount to anything special - Simpsons makes fun of everyone and always has. Why whine about it now? Oh, right - SJWs (what a surprise!)... And :autism:, don't forget :autism:.

Gil is the side character everyone is sick of.

Gil whom??? Oh, that bigger milquetoast fucker than the one supposed to fit that role back when the show was worth a damn (e.g.: Milhouse).

he is literally autistic Lionel Hutz

They're STILL using Gil? My god.

 

[WhatNemesisMeans]

The Simpsons have been shitting on absolutely everything and everyone since day one, and part of the reason the show eventually declined was that it forewent its humor in favor of just bashing whoever happened to be trendy this week.

You'd have to be extremely retarded to be offended because some non-yellow communities are being misrepresented.

 

[Lackadaisy]

this might've been relevant in like 1992.
