    @canefan curious, what exactly about Apu's character would they need to change to make him more PC?

    Do they need to make him less, er, Indian?,

    There were complaints over the 'spray and walk away' ads a few years back, and the Asian guy that is in them said he found them funny, not offensive.

    Yeah I'm so glad we live in a world where a feminist lesbian dwarf felt it was her obligation to be offended on behalf of the spray and walk away guy.

    They still play that ad from time to time, so I suppose people keep getting triggered. Which amuses me

    Was thinking about all the classic Simpson's characters and so many of them are hilarious stereotypes. Why is Apu considered worse than them ?

    @mn5 are you telling me Fat Tony is a stereotype?

    Why does old Groundskeeper Willy have red hair?

    He's angry and anti social too. That triggers me.

    Massive news. I'll run this past the future in laws and let you know if I'm supposed to be proud or outraged.

    Stay tuned.

    Yes please, I will hold off expressing my outrage until I confirm what the official line is. If I'm meant to be outraged I'll jump all over social media and demand people be sacked over this to ensure everybody knows just how morally virtuous I am, as that is far more important to me than anything else.
