Shock horror! Simpsons not politically correct!

In the home of free speech, a comedian of Indian origin (Hari Kondabolu) has spoken up for his 1 billion country folk and called Apu as being a travesty of their character; worse, he is voiced, not by an Indian but a Caucasian, namely Hank Azaria. So, people, stand up for your ethnic/social group and change the Simpsons for the better.

Come on, billionaires club, are you going to stand for Mr Burns portraying you as cynical money-grabbers who care only to increase their money mountains? And Frenchies, will you allow them to get away with calling you cheese eating surrender monkeys? Come to that, what about the originator of that calumny, Groundskeeper Willie? Surely he traduces the whole Scottish nation by his ridiculous accent and questionable practices of saving up grease for his retirement. Come to that, we must rid ourselves of the main character, Homer himself. A man who regularly binge drinks and physically abuses his son should be an affront to fathers everywhere.

George Bush snr once said he wanted American families to be more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons. I have often found myself differing from the Bush family in their views, but here we can say he definitely got it right. We don’t want anyone other than Indians portraying Indians, we only want gays playing gays, trans-genders playing trans-genders, and cockneys playing cockneys. No more Americans pretending to be Brits, or the other way round. And let’s never, ever say anything that might offend anybody at all. That would be wrong.
