Fox will let Simpsons creators decide Apu’s fate

Fox will let the Simpson’s creators choose what to do about Apu. Recently, the cartoon character who’s been around for nearly 30 years has come under fire, being called a racist depiction of the Indian people. Apu’s voice actor, Hank Azaria has already said that he is “willing to step aside” from his role as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. The controversy was stirred by the TruTV documentary, “The Problem With Apu” created by comedian Hari Kondabolu.
