I watched #TheSimpsons response to The Problem With Apu and wow. I'm blown away by how tone deaf and awful their response was.

@sonicbooming Let me guess, 'beloved character,' 'tradition,' 'people love him,' etc.? -Alice

@sonicbooming Sorry if that sounded like a 'well I have it worse,' (which i don't) it was intended to be a 'I understand and empathize from a first person perspective' and I do not always think about how I sound until after I have said/typed it. -Alice
@squirrellilly Not even a worry, I knew what you meant. :)
@squirrellilly This article should clarify the issue and why I as a visible minority, specifically an Indian-Asian American am so offended.
