Hank also voices the following characters. Each one under the "Apu Test" should be halted immediately.

For reference Azaria was born in Queens, New York City, the son of Sephardic Jewish parents, Ruth (Altcheck) and Albert Azaria. His grandparents on both sides hailed from Thessaloniki, Greece's Spanish Jewish community established there after the 1492 exile from Spain. Also heterosexual.

Hank Azaria is a very funny man and a talented voice actor. Him bowing to the twitter mob is a fricking disgrace.

Carl Carlson


Luigi Risotto (seriously...Apu is an offensive stereotype but you have fricking "Luigi Risotto" and its all good?)


Dr. Nicholas Riviera M.D.


Drederick Tatum

Make no mistake about it, WHITE LIBERALS caused this. Behind any faux outrage like this there is ALWAYS a white liberal behind it.

White liberals are scum of the earth. Virtue signaling, racist scum.

A poll in India said Apu was their most beloved character.

White people enjoy humor that makes fun of white stereotypes.

Other races are no different.

The Simpsons makes fun of stereotypes of all races.

It’s been past time for the simpsons to go off the air.

What I don't get is that they never make Apu out to be dumb or bad, he's always a very likable character, they actually flirt with the plights of Indian immigrants and custom/culture clashes in a sensitive and funny way in at least one episode they dedicated to him where he is getting married. There are much more offensive things in the show than Apu.

Also this story is a few months old, the show already announced Apu would no longer be a character. This Azaria quote is superfluous.

When will people learn that all stereotypes are based on some truths?

I mean, that's what makes it funny.

fricking liberals ruin everything.
