Hank Azaria apologies to every Indian person for voicing Simpson's Apu

[Tomoreno]

This idiot should donate all the money he made in 30 years from the gig...

Longtime The Simpsons actor Hank Azaria has apologized to “every Indian person” for voicing Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

Azaria, who voiced the fan favourite character since he first appeared on the show in 1990, issued the apology Monday on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s podcast Armchair Expert. It was especially poignant for Padman, who is Indian.

IMO no apology is needed, he is known for his ability to voice over many different characters. This was part of the show, it was nice for him to acknowledge it for sure but no need to apologize - I'm sure all the cultures he is able to voice understand.

 

[curr3n_c1000]

Is it still ok if I find this funny?

 

[Mr.Know-It-All]

He's just trying to get ahead of the impending cancel curve.

But you're right... if he is actually apologizing for something that needs no apology, he ought to return all of the money he was paid for the gig plus interest.

Fake outrage, what is the problem? He should keep every penny and hope he invested it well.

 

[CantSayNo]

he knows people are going to come after him, probably mostly white and he is just trying to get ahead of the curve , I have never heard an Indian person complain about him voicing apu, more than half don’t even watch simpsons

 

[Ref]

Good thing he did not dress up in traditional Indian costumes, he probably would have been fired for doing something that stupid.

If thats the case so should RUSSELL PETERS. Although he is of EI heritage he made loads of $$$ poking fun at EI and other minorities.

No need to apologize IMHO. After all, Apu was always the good guy in the Simpsons, Homer was the idiot. Indian accent is the indian accent. There are so many different accents, I have NP having a laugh at some of them. Many "white" accents are also made fun off. Schulz in Hogans heros? Slow talking southern accents?

 

[wigglee]

No apology needed.... quit kissing ass, Hank. The actors on Kim's Convenience are faking their Korean accents too.

Hank Azaria has nothing to apologize for. There must be an echo between the ears of SJWs.

Apu was the Vishnu of Springfield. He was easily the most intelligent character on the show. He showed great patience and humour dealing with all the doughheads that passed by on a daily basis. He should have eventually become Mayor.

 

[james t kirk]

Are they going to kill off Apu now?

 

[james t kirk]

If thats the case so should RUSSELL PETERS. Although he is of EI heritage he made loads of $$$ poking fun at EI and other minorities.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they will cancel Peters now too.

This bullshit has to end, or else the David Bowie/George Orwell prophecy will become reality.

"this ain't rocknroll, this is genocide"

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Cancel culture run amok.

Is he also gonna apologize for making fun of the German accent??

 

[Mr.Know-It-All]

What about straight men who pretended to be gay for laughs? Is that still acceptable?

 

[jcpro]

The Simpsons is full of stereotypes. Fat Tony, the old geezers, the bumblebee man, Flanders, Luigi Risotto. Apu was actually a lovable character. Idiotic for an actor, whose job it is to impersonate, to apologize for doing his job. But, we live in the idiotic time. Did Jimmy Kimmel apologized for the Man Show, yet?

Cancel culture run amok.

It's ok to laugh at zee Germans, they're mostly white.
