Topic	The Simpsons is removing Apu from the show

I don't think any Indian American who watches the Simpsons would actively hate Apu. And to those who don't watch it, why should they care? They're just using Apu as a scapegoat; that getting rid of him from the show would somehow magically stop people from offending them. I don't get it. <cite>Jay6_ posted [p:911450235] in The Simpso...
