Question: Is this a problem that is unique to The Simpsons and its longevity, that it has lasted long enough to span multiple eras of cultural thought and taste? I mean, never mind that he's on record stating that the Simpsons are yellow to be recognized when flipping channels: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dia-n1VXkAAuM4m.jpg Interesting read regardless. --- CyricZ ...

And yet Apu exists, and some Asian people are drawn with a lighter yellow.

I mean theres still people of color like Apu and Carl so it kinda defeats the purpose. exactly. with that context the yellow is just white in the Simpsons universe which in turn just brings on the same issues he claims to be trying to avoid lol. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Simpsons are yellow:
- so that people will recognize them when flipping through the channels - so that the hair could blend seamlessly into the skin without a problem - so that the Simpsons wouldn't have a race and everybody could project onto them "Did I ever tell you how I got these scars?" ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just assumed they were all white, unless they were lighter skinned and had stereotypical asian eyes or brown like Apu's family
