Hank Azaria Apologizes AGAIN To Every Indian For Voicing Apu on “The Simpsons”

He claims “Apu” is practically a slur now.

“I really do apologize,” Azaria said. “It’s important. I apologize for my part in creating that and participating in that. Part of me feels like I need to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize. And sometimes I do.”

He should apologize for his over the top campy performance in The Birdcage.

by Anonymousreply 1April 12, 2021 11:07 PM

Why? He did a great job.

by Anonymousreply 2April 12, 2021 11:08 PM

Well it will give him something to do.

I am outraged by his apology! He is a good white man. I blame the woke blacks for this!

by Anonymousreply 5April 12, 2021 11:09 PM

Love the idea of a "concerned eldergay" blaming "woke blacks" for this when this doesn't have anything to do with black people. That is a *chef's kiss* and a perfect datalounge spoof.

Is putting on a French accent for a character okay if you're not French? German? Australian?

*In Apu voice* I am so sorry

He needs to apologize to me personally by putting his big daddy cock in my holes.

by Anonymousreply 10April 12, 2021 11:18 PM

And he is so sorry he will give all the money he made voicing the character to Indian charities.

He should apologize for his fucking ugly face.

Apu was a beloved character, he wasn't some fool like Homer. There is nothing shameful about Azaria voicing Apu.

He should apologize for the anti-German racism of Üter.

Is he listening and learning?

Have The Wayans Brothers apologized yet for the flagrant race appropriation they displayed in "White Chicks"? I think the only way to make amends is for all 4 Wayans Brothers (Kennan, Damon, Shawn, Marlon) and that delicious Damon Wayans, Jr. to fuck me absolutely silly in a SAVAGE train-like pounding that would rival any trip Amtrak has to offer!

I DEMAND JUSTICE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R17, obviously isn't familiar with satire.

by Anonymousreply 18April 12, 2021 11:36 PM

R17 because it is fucking racist. So was Dave Chapelle when he was in whiteface on his show. Letting black people get away with racism won’t make things better. White guilters are stupid for fostering this shit. Just wait until they are accused by a black coworker of being racsit and it impacts them.

If it’s funny, I don’t give a fuck.

by Anonymousreply 20April 13, 2021 8:35 AM

I want to slap every Indian person who whines about how much they hate Apu.

"It's a satirical show that makes fun of EVERYONE! And, Apu was actually one of the nicer/more intelligent characters ON the show! You're basically mad because stupid kids called you 'Apu' on the playground and made you cry 30 years ago! GROW THE FUCK UP!!!!"

by Anonymousreply 21April 13, 2021 8:35 AM

Most Indians couldn't give a fuck about Apu, it was one Indian guy who hated not being famous that went after the Simpsons for years just to get attention and loved it. Now he's a nobody again and The Simpsons continues on.

Apu was sexy.

Oh my god, he needs to shut up already. Stop apologizing for humor.

R32 For what?

by Anonymousreply 33April 13, 2021 9:27 PM

Good for Azaria. An Indian comic could have voiced that role--why didn't the producers find one.

by Anonymousreply 34April 13, 2021 9:27 PM

R33, I’m sure at some point, somewhere along the line, some time in my life, I said something that someone, somewhere may find offensive.

I’m heading it off at the pass.

ya know, we shouldn't insult other people and we should respect all groups. But I wonder what everyone would think if Evangelicals demanded an apology for Ned Flanders? That's what this seems like. There is nothing malicious in the Apu character, nothing at all.

by Anonymousreply 36April 13, 2021 9:34 PM

It was insulting that a non Indian voiced it. That's the point.

by Anonymousreply 37April 13, 2021 9:35 PM

r37 A black woman is playing Ann Boleyn in a movie. Is that insulting?

by Anonymousreply 38April 13, 2021 9:45 PM

It's not insulting. It's idiocy.

by Anonymousreply 39April 13, 2021 9:46 PM

I sort of agree with you, R36, but Ned Flanders was a white guy voiced by a white guy. Ethnic comics make fun of their groups all the time and do a better job of it than white guys or girls. We can have fun about ourselves and still not exploit ethnicity as a big white in-joke. Plus, I think there WAS a complaint from the crazed rapture nuts about Ned Flanders.

Why doesn't everyone just grow up and stop looking for victims? life is too short.

no it isn't insulting that a non-Indian voiced an Indian character. That is a bullshit nonsense statement. Actors do accents. Actors do characters. Actors play different ethnicities and different types. There is absolutely nothing insulting about it. It is a stupid affectation of this stupid affected age to pretend that that is all insulting.

And we haven't even gotten to Smithers yet. Does anyone here give a flying fuck about the trauma of having a gay character on the Simpsons? I fucking hope not.

The only reason anyone is so angry on this thread is they know they're wrong. The whole thread is just race-baiting. What else does it accomplish?

by Anonymousreply 53April 14, 2021 12:52 AM

He's apologizing for a character he voiced for like 30 years? What, he just woke up one morning and said to himself "THAT was WRONG!?" Dumb
