Fix Apu Storyline

…the writing on the Simpsons is entirely representative of the predominately white male writers and producers that make the show.

I don’t think an all-white writing team is is a problem, the colour of a person’s skin has no bearing on whether it is any good.

So it is entirely possible to change the nature of the Apu’s character simply by either changing how the character is written or by changing the voice.

I’ve yet to hear a coherent argument for why the character is particularly problematic in the first place, is he a bad person? a poor role model?

And by doing that you will stop alienating an entire section of the community that is crying out for better representation on TV and film

that’s a big claim, who is being alienated and how?

And if that upsets you: well, its only a cartoon character. And regardless of what they do with the character, it is going to have zero effect on you. So get over it.

if it is only a cartoon character then not changing it is hardly likely to matter either is it?

Soory, I think it is a storm in a tea-cup, as seems tiresomely common these days. There are far bigger issues regarding equality and bigotry that are cheapened and diminished by paying such attention to these non-stories.
