I can't get down with normalizing the disrespect of a group of people.

I don't think they are saying normalizing disrespect. It seems they are saying normalizing that foreign people have accents
I swear yall try to make stuff too deep sometimes
I mean no disrespect, but maybe you just approach deep subjects from a shallow standpoint
societies change and evolve. comparing today's society to the 90s is a very naive way to look at this. it's a slippery slope when you start saying that because something was fine in the past it should be ok in the present. I won't point out the many obvious examples, as I hope you can think of them yourself.Why was this funny in the 90s and no one cared but now it's this.
so you say apu is hardworking and whatnot but that's obviously not what the simpsons are trying to portray. they do not humanize apu until later when he gets his own episode but at face value its an obvious stereotype.Case by case basis. Some things are worth peeling back layers and some are not, imo.
Yeah the first page got a lot of ppl showing their ***.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 nerves to call anyone sensitive.
Nt is the land of the double standard and people who thrive off playing the victim.
Damn, it must ******* suck to have to correct ppl when they constantly assume both are one in the same when talking about something that is offensive.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.
In the same place other racist **** of 90s; pushed to the side and ignored, drowned out, no accountability.It's just for title sake lol
But like I said...where was this in the 90s
Damn, it must ****ing suck to have to correct ppl when they constantly assume both are one in the same when talking about something that is offensive.
Most of it is trash anyway.at this rate portraying anyone with a accent is gonna be a crime against humanity...
if some of ya actually bothered by Apu, i suggest never watching international programming...PC culture hasn't escaped American borders, its a free for all everywhere else.
at this rate portraying anyone with a accent is gonna be a crime against humanity...
realest **** you ever spoke.
Either that or just “we gotta do better” nothing else mattersI noticed that you take the opposite side/ "play devil's advocate" EVERY time minorities are offended, despite claiming to be black. I mean it's not even an exaggeration; I can go back to any thread on NT, and you're on the first 1-2 pages talking about how "it's not offensive" or "people are sensitive"
