Look at Aziz Ansari, you say? Okay, let’s look at the entire episode of Master Of None called “Indians on TV” which is devoted to the fact that this is a huge problem and that most Indian actors never have a chance to do anything about it.

The voice actor specifically said he did the voice as a way to make fun of an Indian shopkeeper he hated but sure, how could an Indian person have a problem with that?
Hari is already well known and respected.
I’m kinda wondering how many of the folks screaming “oh my god people are too sensitive and just get over it” actually read the article.
Kondabolu’s problem with Apu is less with Apu’s characterization than with the way Hank Azaria chooses to voice Apu—and this, given that Azaria was specifically told not to play Apu…
Translation; “this doesn’t affect me personally so I don’t care.”
You can mention the positives you think Apu represents without calling this “total bullshit.”
That is the most 20-something-boy bathroom I’ve ever seen.
Thing is, Lord of the Flies was a response to a particular conceit of British pulp novels which depicted young boys/men being stranded as a fun adventure with little internal conflict. Golding took the subject of entitled British boarding school boys and the kind of savagery he saw in how they acted with each other…
Ah, I see you’ve managed to kill Littlefinger, but what about his other four accents?
Love Lindsay, but even I had to skip those eps. I just can’t deal with the imagery for now.
I do love Beardsly! The nip tufts are far more offensive than the comical wangs, IMHO.
Welp...that’s quite...aspirational!
As Roxane Gay pointed out, there are about a million more interesting alternative histories they could do. One where Reconstruction was actually completed would be interesting. Or if America had lost the Revolution (so slavery would have been outlawed much earlier). Or a million other things. Alternative histories are…
What I find as an additional insult is their cries that, “Hey, it’s really okay, because we already brought on two black folks as writers/producers.” Ummmmm…and Agent Orange in the White House brought in Ben Carson’s ass. The involvement of TWO (or any) black people does not cancel out the fact that this was a…
I do believe, according to the current White House Director of Communications; that fellow on the left is Steve Bannon!
Am I the only person who doesn’t find this story the least bit funny? Especially when you think about all the likely explanations and their potential ramifications... His mother may have cheated on his father, and once the kid was old enough that he could tell it wasn’t his, dad splits, and mom continues to lie to…
I’d like to introduce these trolls to pretty much the entire women’s footwear industry. 90% of women’s shoes were designed to look sexy, because they sure as hell weren’t designed for walking.
This is the argument of a mental toddler. By this logic, she should just stay quiet and try to “rise above it,” or some other bullshit.
It’s almost like David Cage is an idiot who doesn’t know what he’s doing.
