How many years has the Simpsons been on the air? It's just now come to the attention of the left, that they make fun of everyone? That everyone is fair game?
People who can't recognize satire, who can't laugh at themselves, who take cartoon characters seriously.....well, those are some pretty dull people, without a sense of humor.

What a crock, this is totally bull$#@!..."Thank you, come again..."
The documentary filmmaker doesn't strike me as an SJW so much as just a guy who resents his racial/ethnic group being made fun of. I've never been Indian, so I can't totally discount the man's feelings, BUT...as others have pointed out, 'The Simpsons' is pretty much fully composed of various stereotypes - Apu is just one of dozens. Just from watching the trailer for his film, a big part of his problem is with the fact that Apu is voiced by a non-Indian actor. Has he ever watched 'The Big Bang Theory'? The character of Raj is played by an Indian actor, and he speaks with a similar accent, his parents have tried at least once to involve him in an arranged marriage, and he is constantly making jokes about being Indian. (That actor currently makes almost a million dollars per episode, by the way.) Anyway, it's obviously a stretch to attribute the kerfuffle under discussion to "the left", as most liberals, I think it's fair to say, are going to find it just as silly as anyone else does.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
