The producers of "The Simpsons" announced Friday evening that the
long-running animated sitcom "will no longer have white actors voice
non-white characters," while a member of the cast of "Family Guy"
announced he would no longer voice Cleveland Brown, a Black character.

The back-to-back announcements came just two days after actresses Jenny
Slate and Kristen Bell announced they would no longer voice biracial
cartoon characters, and while Hollywood reckons with issues of
diversity, inclusion and representation amid nationwide protests over
systemic racism.

"The Simpsons" has faced criticism over the fact that Hank Azaria, a
white actor, voiced Apu, an Indian American character condemned by
audience members who believe he is a racist caricature. Azaria
confirmed earlier this year that he would no longer play the role.
