Hank Azaria will not be the voice of Apu from "The Simpsons" any longer.
The actor has portrayed the Indian convenience store owner character from the Fox animation hit since 1990, but allegations of reinforcing racial stereotypes in Apu's depiction have surfaced in recent years.
"All we know there is I won't be doing the voice anymore, unless there's some way to transition it or something," the 55-year-old told the website SlashFilm.

The depiction has been accused of being founded on racial stereotypes and was highlighted in the 2017 documentary "The Problem With Apu" by comedian Hari Kondabolu.

The stereotype is what makes the character funny. Pussies are killing comedy. I wish more writers and creators would fight back instead of just caving.

Patels rule the convenient store world. Apu is no different.

The woke twitter crowd wins again. When will those at the top realize that the woke crew is a tiny minority of people, and that the majority are not offended by this?

These frickers better be outraged about Cletus as well

Yeah, as a southerner Cletus offends me. I'm outraged.

This is sad, hopefully, they keep him alive by making him a mute that does stereotypical stuff

Give Apu a frickin' motel to run. Promote that stinky bastard.

Patels are usually Indian, and run hotels. The Pakistanis run the convenience stores

Comedy in the flavor of observational humor.
