As an Indian, I assure you that not a single one of us was offended by Apu. Please stop feeling offended on our behalf. Thanks 😊

@coktoe4487 2 года назад

The guy who spearheaded the removal of Apu, by making a movie about it, is an Indian. And I knew a guy, a friend of a friend, and an Indian gentleman, who felt Apu was offensive when I knew him back in the late 90's. So, there are some. I assume there are more. Your point is taken though. I would guess there are more people who aren't offended by Apu, across all cultures, than there are who take offense.

@RocStarr913 2 года назад

Comedian Hari Kondabolu is of Indian descent and was the one who first planted the seed of this. It just shows that ethnic groups are not monoliths. People are individuals at the end of the day and you just simply can’t please everybody. What it is is these broadcasters and advertising sponsors and even the creative people themselves who are complete bean counters and are afraid to alienate even one single viewer.

@OdinMagnus Год назад

Yup, as a jew I feel you, I hate when people get offended on other people's behalf. I laugh at jew jokes from comedians and when they make fun of Mort on Family guy. It's a joke. But no, Karen gets offended because she thinks I "should" be offended.

Felt the same way about the sports teams named after Native people (am native). Redskins was probably not a great name, but keep the symbol, change it to the Warriors, which we absolutely were. Or forget it all. We fought like tough SOB’s, got fucked over and sports team names were never a priority.

@gageblackwood8832 6 лет назад

The amount of smoking was insane decades ago. Some ballplayers actually relaxed with a cigarette in the dugout waiting for their turn at bat! And late night talk show hosts had ash trays on their desks and would smoke while interviewing guests - who often smoked as well.

@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 6 лет назад

Craig Corson Lol, I’m friends with several doctors, and plenty of them do a lot more than just smoke...they can be pretty fun to party with, but pretty hardcore! We all do things that are enjoyable in the moment, but that we know aren’t good for us in the long run - whether it’s eating a box of donuts, smoking a cigarette, or doing a line of coke. Humans are pretty bad at choosing the future over the present, and knowing the negative effects of our actions doesn’t change that.

I asked a good friend from India if he thought the Apu character on The Simpsons was offensive. He laughed and said one of his favorite Simpsons scenes was when Apu gasped "oh my god" and his father asked "which one?" My favorite was when Apu stood up at a Springfield City Council meeting and said "I was shot 27 times last year and I almost had to miss a day of work."

@FunkyFyreMunky 5 лет назад

Correct, even down to the 2.1 kids in the Simpson family. I always thought that Apu was one of the most sensitive portrayal of a stereotype (racial or otherwise) in the show. He's a hard working, diligent manager of a successful business. He's a loving father and husband who has overcome past mistakes to redeem himself. He's proud of his culture and religion and refuses to compromise them to appease other people. I see no other issue other than "he's voiced by a white guy" and, well... that's called acting.

@wck 5 лет назад

Something you realize when you get older is that having understanding and sensitivity for other people and their way of life isn't a sign of weakness. When you're young it's all cool to be edgy and think "You can be offended all you fucking want, this is just reality and you can get the fuck over it!" You eventually come to learn your views were just mean-spirited and not wanting to admit that was making you hyper defensive. At some point you reach peak shitlord, where your defensiveness has evolved into a desire to piss off the types of people who originally called you out for using problematic language or acting inappropriately. Most people end up moving past that toxic behavior in their 30s.

@joemomma3988 3 года назад

I have noticed something that saddens me. 3 of my favorite Christmas movies. Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and Scrooged. That world no longer exists. Standby me , The Sandlot, Fast Times At Ridgemont High. All 3 of these take place I think 50’s 60’s 80’’s. A time when children ran free. In or out I’m not air conditioning the entire neighborhood. We would just go and return for food and drink and sleep. Just to do all over again the next day. Summertime was ripe with adventure. Smoking my first cigarette. Kissing my first girl. I can remember clesning up after a cook out and there were 4 skunked Pabst blue ribbons. I ran them to the creek put them in and covered them with a rock. Later that day me and my friends smoked lucky strikes and drank those skunked beers on a warm summer afternoon. I was 13 at the time. My point is this. That world doesn’t exist anymore. Kids have play dates monitored by helicopter parents. Or they are just staining at their phones or playing video games. There is no more real life adventure for this generation. The story I told was one day of a summer vacation. And I have dozens of different stories like that from my summers as a young man in the 80’s. Ferris said it best. Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and take a look around once in a while it’ll pass you by. What stories are these kids gonna have? Really what are they gonna say. And will it beat a summer day smokin and drinking looking at a playboy skipping rocks. And chillin with my friends. And it’s all true every word. I can still taste that skunked Pabst blue ribbon. I reflect on that memory often in the summer when it’s really hot no breeze and high humidity. It’s funny how the mind works. And it’s funny that some random day from my childhood summer vacation would be burned to to my brain so vividly all these years later. Enjoy your time while you can because one day your gonna wake up and your gonna have back pain, bags under your eyes, a little chub where your 6 pack used to be and grey hair if your lucky to have any at all. And what will your memories be of? Something good I hope.

@troyevitt2437 5 лет назад

Apu is not a negative stereotype, he's an actual demographic. The first wave of India-owned convenience store/gas stations came about after the Union Carbide tragedy in Bopohl, India which killed a couple thousand people and destroyed the economy surrounding the U/C plant. People of the region who lost loved ones, as well as those simply driven out of business, were offered the opportunity to immigrate to the US and start over owning/managing gas stations. From there, they can generationally chain-migrate. Trump can make all the noise he wants about chain migration, but when have you ever see convenience store families from India do ANYTHING ELSE BUT WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK? Their religion doesn't even demand a "Sabbath" so they pray to their household deities or whatever and put in 12/14-hour days.

Hell i still hear "Waving the white flag" jokes about french people and i'm part french. You are 100% correct. One should keep PC out of Comedy.

It was never that popular though in the grand scheme of things when it originally aired on Fox. It helped a lot that it was one of Fox’s first TV series.

The problem is context. People today have to appreciation for or understanding of context. They don't consider the situation things happened in or the environment and standards surrounding it. Instead they all react like dogs trained to respond to a command. They hear certain trigger-words or phrases, and they just freak out and start barking. They don't consider the situation, the environment, or even why they're barking or what it means; they simply hear/see the trigger-words and immediately flip out. The way they've been trained to react.

This. The best example of this is, if you talked to someone like 50 years ago there's a solid chance they'd call a black person "colored", maybe even call them a negro. That could come out of the mouth of a racist or a civil rights activist, that was just the word. If you don't get the context, you'll assume it's racist. Most people can grasp that, but when it comes to what kinds of jokes are ok, and what those jokes communicate, they're much less comfortable. And then of course, we just learn what we shouldn't do anymore. Taken to the extreme, there's a reason these whiners are the same ones who want Thomas Jefferson erased from public monuments and adoration because he owned slaves. Like every fuckin rich white guy of his age. His other contributions are irrelevant, dude owned slaves.

Who was treating who like crap?

@CNRhKXtreme 6 лет назад

We're probably on the same page about a lot of this, but I'm not arguing that you did say that, merely pointing out that you were implying I thought it was okay to let people be racist assholes. Would this student have not said anything if he'd *known* the student was South African? Where is the line for this individual? The reason I specifically mentioned Africa is because the other student specifically mentioned him not being of African descent, to point out his attempt to hide his bias behind a culture wall.

@CNRhKXtreme 6 лет назад

Perhaps we both should have expanded our initial statements. Think of my stance in the context of the following: "_______ culture should stay with _______ people." The student, instead of attempting a back-and-forth discourse about the young man's fashion choices, attempted to humiliate him. These, in particular, are the types of people I'm calling out in reference to "my little story". Without a doubt, there are times when a call-out is necessary - even more than a call-out, infact - but cherry picking every aspect of another culture is a sort of cultural segregation.

You want to kill th slaughterhouses? Easy, teach people to properly hunt, and return our right to live off the land. *Boom* no more animal cruel meat. Its also better for your health, and much tastier. Then there's all the exercise you get, and learning to be patient. Why are european ways better again?
