Apu - Tumblr Posts

6 years ago

Okay I have read quite some articles about Apu getting written out of the Simpsons and a few saying he wasn’t going to be, but in any kind of way:

If the solution with the problem of having a stereotypical character is to

a) ignore all other sterotypical characters in the show that aren’t of color

and

b) write him out entirely,

then the problem is not that the character is a sterotype.

The problem is that producers these days think they have to listen to people who whine on the Internet, instead of what their actual watchers care about.

The Simpons is from a different time, so they probably wouldn’t make a chacter like him anymore today.

But the would have absoltly no problem with making a character like Willy, or Cleatus again. Because this isn’t about stereotypes in general. It’s about sterotypes of people of color being offensive, while sterotypes of white people aren’t.

I am from Germany and you know what? A good sterotype-joke is something I laugh about. And we get made a lot of stereotype-jokes (not all of them good, but Simpsons did some funny ones).

Besides the fact that whenever something like this comes up, apperently only white people seem to be offended.

I saw Indian people defendiving Apu.

And they are the only ones with the right to be upset about this.

It takes away what they have to say.

So intead of focusing if actually someone who the issue would affect is offended they focus on people who have nothing to do with it.

Not much of a big Simpsons fan but this turned out pretty good I think I tried to translate them in my style and the only two I'm iffy on are Lisa and especially Marge. Cookie if you can guess who Lisa is dressed as

Goodbye Apu

Goodbye Apu

guys, I'm gonna talk about it!

it's a sad day for Apu... because the world knows he was a merchant and also a father

he showed up at the two season The Simpsons of 1990...

when will this stay for Apu?

Until the year 2018, 19, 20 until today he will be removed from the history of The Simpson

because it was Indian stereotype, it got a lot of be angry journalists and fans even Indian people

and I'll say something..

not stereotype some people of the nation and racism either in your lives

Don't do that

Thank you.....

and I appreciate it
