The Simpsons Is Apparently Getting Rid Of Apu Following Backlash
BY LAURA HURLEY
The Simpsons is currently airing its thirtieth season on Fox. As one might expect, not all of the stories and characters covered over the span of three decades have gone over with fans, and there's been no backlash quite like that surrounding Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. The convenience store owner, voiced by Hank Azaria, has been the center of controversy. Many find him to be an inaccurate and even offensive portrayal of Indian-Americans in the U.S. Well, it now looks like The Simpsons is taking the drastic step of removing Apu.
The news comes from producer Adi Shankar, who you may remember launched a contestback in May for somebody to write an episode that fixes aspects of Apu's characterization that have proved problematic. Shankar is not connected to The Simpsons, but he nevertheless learned that the show is apparently getting rid of Apu.
The rest is here...

Welp Simpsons should stopped after season 10
