Also, after reading the original story, which I’m sure you did, it’s clear that this began as an extortion situation that turned into a police report. Nothing strange there, yea?

Or they know something you don’t! Let’s all Jump To Conclusions!™

Who do you have to fuck to get an A- around here?

Well, you entirely missed my point, yes white privelage is a thing, nowhere did I say it isn’t, and I mentioned the Irish because they were a persecuted group a long time ago and because the hatred and prejudice is essentially identical, the people who hate just moved on to a different group, but it’s still derived…

Cultural differences eh. I haven’t watched The Simpson’s for a long time but I always assumed Apu owned the store - why? Because where I live (on t’other side of the world), many of the convenience stores are owned by South Asians.

Can you please explain Indian television shows to me? Because whenever I’m buying curry and kind of half watch it, it honestly gives me a worse impression of your culture than someone like Apu does. Not in a hateful way or like making you guys look stupid or sterotypical but more in a “was this made by actual human…

Thank god people aren’t collectives.

Yes. I do in fact. Which is why I am frustrated with him.

It’s a good example of someone looking for something to be offended by.

I’m sure this guy is an absolutely hilarious comedian.

I understand the accent is stereotypical and shitty, but if a voice actor absolutely has to share the ethnic and national background of a character she or he voices, John DiMaggio should be run out of town on a pole. Also, I suspect that Billy West is not actually a candy-coated chocolate. 

Sigh. I’m Indian-American, and I’ve always struggled a bit with Kondabolu. I understand his rage, and share it a lot of the time, but I can’t help but feel like a lot of his schtick boils down to “White people, am I right??”

Anyone who does see themselves reflected in a Simpsons character should seriously reconsider their life.

Not to mention he’s the only person in Springfield who’s actually good at their job. Well him and Cookie Kwan. As a Mexican-American, I’m all for representation... But I’m not sure this is the hill you want to die on. Not to mention, if your biggest problem is representation in pop culture; I’d be pretty thankful for…

Yeah, I’m not sure if this is a poorly-written review, or if the documentary itself glosses over those aspects.

If someone asks me about Bumblebee Man, I don’t fly off the handle. Fuck these assholes, Apu is great.

Hell, Apu’s a prominent enough character that he was the only non-Simpson playable in Hit & Run.

While Mr Burns was maybe the wrong comparison, there’s always Groundskeeper Willie, Luigi Risotto, etc.

Though the show is the highest-rated and most-watched show in CMT history

This is the question I have been waiting my entire life for.
