Wow at that brush off response. Typical of white folks telling minorities what to be offended of and when.

why are people pitting each others racism against each other?
"ours is worst so you have no right to be offended"
did i do it right?
i remember you mentioning that you were middle Eastern or something
please explain what you find offensive about it
because i think its clear to see whats offensive about the idea that all black people are thugs vs. the idea that there are alot of successful gas station clerks that happen to be middle Eastern
when people say they dont see whats offensive about confederate flags, black people being typecasted as thugs, etc. theyre usually being disenginous (sp?) but no one in here has brought up whats potentially offensive about someone simply being a gas station owner/clerk
who said this
all i see being asked is what makes it offensive so we know where the outrage is coming from
if anything you were the first one in here who just tried to make one ‘worse’ than the other
Racist but its not “all black people are thugs” racist.
Yes, I am middle eastern.
Well first off... Apu is Indian, he is south asian not middle eastern.
"Simply being a gas station owner "
That's it. For the longest time he was the only Indian character on TV. People associated and assumed all folks of that background work at a kwik-e Mart, which isn't the case. Similar to how you're offended when black folks are portrayed as thugs, when clearly that isn't the case.
Personally, I think the Simpsons fell off hard. Been trash for bout a decade if not more, shoulda ended it a long time ago.
Always the same bs with some of you
Thread isnt even about you but you feel the need to throw in "well we got it worse" pity remarks. Then got the damn never to call anyone sensitive.
Nt is the land of the double standard and people who thrive off playing the victim.
so is it moreso about the character himself or the lack of diversity in representation
do you/yall still feel that way now that presumably more characters of Indian descent are on television (are they?)

I assume you mean Indian people when you say "you/y'all"
I stated in the post you quoted I am middle eastern and not Indian. I don't relate to an Indian character same way I don't relate to a Black, Asian, Hispanic, or White one.
Or are we (middle eastern and Indian) the same in your eyes?
You literally on the first page said it wasn't as racist as depicting blacks as thugs
Hmm Mindy from Mindy project I think fox/huluAsk yourself this, how many Indian/South Asian people have been prominent characters on mainstream TV in America since the Simpsons started?
It's just for title sake lol
But like I said...where was this in the 90s
Different times, man. Think about how many things that were thought of as okay in the 90s/early 2000s that wouldn't fly today.It's just for title sake lol
