Falsehoods
I'm comparing you, someone who routinely offers critiques about products that affect his life on a regular basis, to someone who offered a critique about something that affected his life on a regular basis.
What that got to do with anything? There's merch for all sorts of things with enough chumps out to buy it.oh yeah? so why isn't da indian merch going anywhere? ill wait.

I can't believe that this caused enough of an issue that they decided to completely erase the character.
So ppl try to get rid of an offensive logo, threatening to take a way team's logo and most likely it's name, it doesn't happen but bigots simply rally behind it more resulting in sales increasing.da end goal for sjw was to eliminate chief wahoo, and what they did instead is make him hotter, so hotter MLB wouldn't forbid da indians to continue to sell Chief Wahoo's likeness after da 2018 season concludes...

You clearly haven't listened to Hari Kondabalu speak about this, or made any effort to understand why people had an issue with a stereotypical depiction of an Indian American, voiced by a White man, especially at a time when few other Indian American characters appeared in American films or television. (And, when they did, they were too often played by White people in brown face, like Fisher Stevens in the Short Circuit movies or Mike Myers in "The Love Guru.")apu doesn't even show up on da simpson regularly to effect said person on a regular basis
my critique is ergonomic and user interface based, not editorial..u slackin b.

Not just bigots but I'm sure they were the main cause behind the uptick.here's your problem, you think everyone that likes chief wahoo is a bigot... that's why it isn't going anywhere, cuz that type of talk just entrenches folks to support their mascot even harder, as seen by da indians brisk sales of anything chief wahoo related.

By today’s standards this can be taken as offensive to even ask.what was negative about apu that people were mad at
The legal reason is if they stop selling the merchandise they lose the Trademark to the logo.
A business decision was made to not lose the logo.
So you would defend this:as far as im concerned if people wanna be mean to someone their gonna use w/e representation thats on pop culture, da irony is him complaining bout Apu just made representation that that much smaller.
So you would defend this:
On the grounds that eliminating it would result in fewer Black characters in pop culture?
I compared blackface to apu earlier as well... It's deemed racist and insensitive by some and entertaining to others.
Slightly different because blackface is 100% meant to degrade and belittle a race.
Some good points in this vid. Some of the stuff has been mentioned in here.
So do y'all feel like a race doing an impression of another race is 100% out of line and racist? Especially considering the fact that we've "established" that we can't dictate what others are offended by?
I didn't even think about speedy. As i mentioned before, someone can find a problem with literally anything. And the fact that everyone has a platform can be dangerous.
