re: 'The Simpsons' reportedly dropping the 'Apu' character because of backlash

Why does nobody bitch about family guy Jesus?

Because its funny and any sane human can find humor in themselves. Except for bitch made social justic warriors. They are too stupid to find humor in anything.

SJWs are destroying comedy. It's supposed to be offensive dumb asses

We’ve become a society that allows the people who scream the loudest, to dictate sensitivity and outrage. The saddest part of it all, is the screamers aren’t just the minority, but an extreme minority. The screamers aren’t the pussies, it’s the majority that allows these useless eaters to dictate things like cartoons and Halloween costumes.

After 30 years. frick this gay earth.

Look, I think the PC BS is out of control, but when it comes to the perception of different people, that really does have a real life impact. When people see a certain group of people being portrayed a certain way and they have never had an experience with interacting with that group of people before, they only know what they have seen.

I am sure most of the OT will think that's stupid and that it is just something else for people to complain about... But I can understand this.

Can’t believe the Simpsons have been on this long. Haven’t watched in a long time.

Apu exists bc it’s a reality for many people in America. Hard working men who left India for a chance at a greater life. They open a gas station or restaurant and try to make a better life for themselves and their families. Things that require no real education, just a strong work ethic and some luck. Sometimes they struggle, and often times they pick locations in poorer areas that are targets for being robbed by lesser people. But many of them find success and prosperity bc they have a strong work ethic and don’t give up. All of those things embody Apu

Apu is friendly but firm with his customers. He doesn’t play games, if you are not in his store for business then you don’t belong there. If you do business with him, he will thank you and encourage you to visit again. He represents the spirit of immigrants, and he is part of Springfield, even though he is different

To people who dislike Apu, I say “The toilet is only for paying customers.”

To people who love Apu and see him for who he truly is, I say “thank you, come again”
