Apu from The Simpsons Drama

They're American so I suppose they need to keep it simple - Indian = Corner shop and funny accent, Scottish = Drunk, crazy and funny accent, Irish = Leprechaun, Drunk and funny accent. Starting to see a theme develop, absolute monsters that need shutting down.

we need to rise up against the sterotypes.

Anyone absuing the guy is absolute scum.

I really dont see how Anyone could seriously be offended by the stereotype though. Just about everyone in the Simpsons is one big stereotype. Seriously, Homer is a big fat American slob. Barney is an Irish drunk. Grounds keeper Whillie is an overly aggressive Scotsman and pretty much every country this visit they is portrayed in an OOT caricature. You'd have to be more then a touch delicate to be offended by anything in the Simpsons. The most offensive thing about the Simpsons these days is how vanilla it is.

GTF Millenial!

Does South Park get away with it because they just rip on everyone?

The only black kid is named Token Black. Kyle is constantly being ripped for being a Jew. Kenny is mocked for being poor white trash. Cartman is constantly ridiculed for being fat. Etc, etc, etc.

What's the difference?

Right, let me rewrite that post properly.

No doubt millennials will get the blame for this nonsese. (This is were four or five people all say it's Millennials fault as though they were being hilarious and original). It's simply not the case, oh I've not doubt that there's plenty of delicate flower millennials cryarsing about stuff but I doubt this is one of them.

Sorry mate, I'm part Indian and this shop won't run itself so you're on your own.

Tonto definitely didn't drink enough to be an accurate representation. Imagine the faux outrage that would produce today.

It's hard being taken seriously at GOT. Sorry if I came across rude. Can I buy you a drink and rub your back? There's a quiet place off Matthew Street we could meet up and discuss your feelings if you want.
