So the fix is to purge The Simpsons of every character who is not white (yellow), but who is voiced by a white (yellow) actor? Sounds like the show just needs to be put to bed, then. 

What do you mean as a regular part of the show?

Or do multiple things. They planted a lot of seeds for his character in one-off episode plots (because he is a fun addition to any group thing) and then did nothing with it. When this first surfaced, the obvious solution to me was to have him own a chain of Quik-E Mart franchises and become and better entrepreneur. If…

But let me also point out that The Simpsons has gone to stereotypes for great comedic affect...almost constantly. There isn’t a single side-character who isn’t a, well, cartoonish representation of some demographic.

This is weak. The character has existed for 30 years. Dropping him silently doesn’t help the problem. They should do what they should have done once the character became a regular part of the show: have him actually advance in life and career and push beyond the stereotypes he’s built on. Yes, Azaria would still do…

She should darken her skin and show up to interview for the position. Soul Man style. Hilarity will ensue. 

Referring to him anonymously as “director of Fury Road” is odd, considering he has directed and written all the Mad Max films and they are his brainchild and legacy. 

Because a string broke on your Gibson and a tech ran to the stage with your backup guitar and you swapped them out?

Isn’t #11...Burn *before* Reading?

I feel like “Gosh, they sure look like they’re having a lot of fun in there.” is the best reaction Carpool Karaoke can get. I’ve never understood its appeal (or Corden’s, for that matter)

Why would anyone take the yearly payments when they could take the lump sum, invest it in a modest fund, and basically get the yearly payment on interest/investment returns alone?

OK, the other comments hadn’t loaded when I was posting. We’re all on the same page, good good.

But, god damn, if that exchange isn’t one of the finest examples of straight/absurd comedy ever written. 

Flowery twats. 

...watery tart...

Look, if no one else is going to do this, I’ll just take one for the team and fly my geek flag.

I don’t know how MC5 could ever be called metal.

And it starts by referencing the fact that The Lion King bears a remarkable resemblance to Kimba the White Lion. I always got the James Earl Jones joke (huge Star Wars nerd...) but the Kimba thing soared over my head.

I hadn’t heard Canada’s widely used “First Nations” term until I visited Vancouver a few years back, and I really like it for the accuracy and respect it imparts. Of course, what I think sounds good or accurate is pretty irrelevant.

Why would it matter that the Native American heritage she has been using in a political context was the result of violent sexual assault? Do I need to answer that?

If she’s native 10 generations back, doesn’t that make it not entirely unlikely that her native ancestor was raped by her white ancestor?
