Would it be racist if they told this Indian voice actor to make Apu's voice sound "more Indian"?

I recall Indians being really pissed off when it happened. They weren't offended by the character, they loved him. The only people offended were liberal white women.

Are they gonna bring back Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, and the Land O' Lakes Indian chick? Dumb-arse liberal white bitches should have used Mrs. Butterworth and stfu.

Funny how it's a problem that an Indian character is voiced by a white man...but it's not a problem to perpetuate the stereotype of an Indian born man running a convenience store and then completely dropping the minority from the show altogether.

Same thing as Land O Lakes removing the Native American from the land it portrays on their containers.

From what I understand, they just dropped the Uncle part, it's still Ben's rice. Uncle is something white families would let their kids call their house.... butlers.
