Now, character voice Hank Azaria admits the controversy is “a lot to think about,” as well that producers have considered potential measures in response.
Simpsons character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has long-influenced stereotypes about people from India, so much so that comedian Hari Kondabolu made a full documentary about The Problem With Apu.
Asked if producers were considering any “measures taken” with regard to the character, Azaria would only note that “we’re just really thinking about it, it’s a lot to digest.”
In the meantime, you can watch a trailer for Kondabolu’s documentary below, and stay tuned for any potential update on the character.
