‘Cowardice’: The Simpsons creators criticized after Apu is axed over stereotyping claims
The creators of the hit cartoon ‘The Simpsons’ have reportedly cut Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from any future episodes following claims that the long-running character depicts Indian and Asian stereotypes.
Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu, who is voiced by white actor Hank Azaria, first appeared in ‘The Telltale Head’ episode in 1990. However this year the character came under fire following the documentary, ‘The Problem with Apu’.
The controversy prompted Azaria to say that he is willing to step aside from the character if producers wanted to hire a more appropriate voice actor. He also called for an Indian or Asian writer to decipher how best to proceed with the issue.
