But replaced Hank Azaria with some Indian dude. So, what's the point, really?

How much do you want to bet that everything he says now will be super insightful and wise.

I haven't regularly watched the show in many years. I catch one every once in a blue moon and it's not worthless, but it's definitely more left wing and not nearly as funny, the natural result of having everyone worry about offending people all of the time.

Apu was often one of the most insightful and smart characters in the show though. That wouldn't be a change from his established personality.

Apu was also often one of the most irrational characters as well.

Now he'll be flawless.

They should have just made a fair trade. Hank gets to do Apu and the indian dude gets to play sideshow bob.

I'm so glad I can't remember the name of the Indian comedian who tried to make a name for himself by making a big stink about this.

I doubt many people ever will.

So you're making up a scenario in your head to be mad at?

No, that was the pussy who got Apu banned in the first place.

I'm going for the movie board downvote record: The Simpsons have always sucked.

No way. When it first came out it was fresh. Nothing else like it and Homer was a kick. This was before every sitcom dad was turned into a retard so it was funny.

But it’s long past it’s time. Prime Family Guy was edgier and funnier and Archer was more clever.

Apu was always one of the most rational characters especially of the side characters. His only big frick up was cheating on his wife with the girl who refilled the squishee machines.

That's a bit harsh. The first 12 seasons or so were pretty classic, so I'd say 26 seasons of crap.

Nothing quite so racist as the concept of the "noble savage", which is heavily championed by the Left.

It's like none of ya'll watched any episodes. He price gouged and sold expired and rancid food. Hell, he kept Jasper in a frozen cooler and made money off him.There are many more scenarios so rational and sensible is not what I would call him.

Marrying a hooker while drunk in Vegas, pointing a gun at kids in the Qwik-E-Mart, briefly abandoning his 8 kids, being fake married to Marge.

It's a rich tapestry.

Maybe I misspoke he's not rational in the real world sense but in comparison he's better than many in the show. That being said he definitely has some major negatives but I wouldn't consider him of the most irrational characters

Mad when white guy can't voice Indian.

Also mad when minority plays historical white character.

Anger seems to point one way only.

Buch of low-t liberal sissies cucking themselves to impress a group of people that will never be satisfied by how much or how often white men apologize or acquiesce.
