Hypocrisy?

Well Indians stereotype foreigners in their movies with an awfully hinglish accent from dacades! Show them as sluts and bar dancers, drug dealers, and what not, but that's alright but apu is a problem, hmm. Hypocrisy? I'm an Indian an I love Simpsons! Apu doesn't represent every indian guy.. get a life! It's a comedy show.

What a Loser

I never heard of the guy who starred in this documentary. The.main reason.this guy created the documentary in the first place is that nobody ever heard of the idiot. He only created the show because he does not have a career and he is trying desperately to get a career. His standup routine shown in the documentary is terrible and completely amateurish.

Picking on Hank Azaria will NOT get this unknown loser a career. The loser should get a bookkeeping.certificate from a junior college and get a real job. This untalented idiot is an immature kid who will NEVER have a career in showbiz.

meh

Has it been much more focused on media ignoring minorities, instead of bashing a cartoon character which, in the end, seems just like PR a thing quite a lot (at least to me), this movie would have much more impact and obviously, much less views. Blaming Azaria for trying to talk on his own matters is a bit out of line. But besides, it does bring a lot questions and views and,fortunately so, even some answers but for me, this was definitely not the way to focus on the problem, even though yes, in the better version of the document, Apu would have every right to be mentioned.

Horrible

Tries to bring down the very thing he's making money on. Silly.

As an Indian, I hate this Hari, aka, Male-Lilly-Singh

"You're the one who hate Indians, Hari. Not Simpsons"

Yes, I mean what I wrote. Yes, WE are stereotyped, we are mocked, our accent is mocked, and what not.

How is this disrespectful when it used to be true for first generation immigrants? Your family got its privileges and you don't have that accent because you're not an Indian, just of that descent. So, don't speak on our behalf, you idiot!

What, whoever this guy is, doesn't understand is, he is not Indian enough to have a say in it. In fact, he is probably more racist towards people of South Asia than the writers he is blaming. He hates our accent but welcomes our victim card, making all his stand ups about this and this only.

"How many times has been in India? How many shows has he had here? I didn't even know he existed till now and he feels entitled to represent my entire race."

He also completely disregarded one thing: however racist it might feel:

The Simpsons and Fox did put an entire Indian family in the most popular animated show of all time. When? Way back in the 1990s.

You should be grateful to them, not grumpy. Don't try to convert your emotional baggage into others' guilt.

By the beginning of 2020, Hank Azaria had stepped down from the role of Apu. Later that year the producers of the I Simpson (1989) declared that white actors will not longer voice non-white characters.
