Comedian Hari Kondabolu’s documentary The Problem With Apu has spurred a dialog on soft racism at The Simpsons...
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the ever-pleasant Kwik-e-Mart merchant on The Simpsons, is ascending to healer status.
Apu graduated first in his class of seven million at Calcutta Technical Institute (Caltech), before earning his Ph.D. in computer science at Springfield Heights Institute of Technology (Shit). He has currently been giving lessons in 'soft racism,' and Hank Azaria, the actor who voices Apu, is paying close attention in class. The dialog began with the TruTV documentary The Problem With Apu, from comic and filmmaker Hari Kondabolu, which pointed out how the character exploits stereotypes of Indian immigrants.
“I think the documentary made some really interesting points and gave us a lot to think about and we really are thinking about it,” Azaria told TMZ during an impromptu interview at Lax.
