  • The Simpsons Might Be Quietly Removing Apu From the Show Entirely

    From dumpster4@hotmail.com@1:229/2 to All on Saturday, October 27, 2018 16:53:11
    "Apu is one of the most controversial characters on The Simpsons, and news now indicates the show might deal with that by avoiding it altogether.

    After previous, embarrassing attempts to handle concerns over Apu’s worthiness as
    a representative of Indian Americans, IndieWire reports that, according to film

    producer Adi Shankar, The Simpsons is going to just drop the character entirely,
    quietly removing him and his family from the show."

    'The Simpsons' quietly removed humor from the show years ago.
