What did this actually accomplish (if anything)?

It took me multiple tries to understand which one was supposed to be the reasonable one.

>stop perpetuating this made up mockery
I'd like to feel for people who are upset by racially insensitive content, but not when they deny reality. Indian people running 7-11's has been and still is a thing.

It would take me five minutes to find an Indian with an accent running a convenience store. Apu is whimsically fantastically better than the scammers that exist in real life.
>>
I used to think much better of indians back when Apu was my only frame of reference
>>
It made people realize that Indians are shit, so I guess it did accomplish something.
>>

"Every grocery store worker is a pajeet" happened here for the first time like five years ago. Maybe the Indians should stop enforcing these harmful stereotypes...

>I sleep

>THIS STEREOTYPE IS HARMFUL AND OFFENSIVE TO INDIANS EVERYWHERE
what a fag
>>
>>216010655
I could never actually watch this, it makes me cringe to my core.
>>
>>216010655
>seethe and be buttmad that a fictional portrayal of an indian might make indians look bad, only because of shit like his accent when otherwise he's portrayed as a decent person
>show how much of an arrogant piece of shit you are in every interview or public post/moment
>your own compatriots constantly make videos that ruin your reputation a million times worse than Apu could
No but anything that it would've accomplished would be immediately erased and flung into the opposite direction

kek same

It always confused me, because Apu was so pleasant but there was one Indian kid at my school and he was that special combination of both stuck-up and desperate and generally just an ass who didn't seem to have much complex thought so I thought he must not be like a normal Indian since Apu was my only other frame of reference.
Then I grew up and started working in IT and now I know that Apu was the exception.
>>
Do you think Jeets would rather turn back the clock and accept Apu as the standard representative of India instead of them all being poo-encrusted creeps?
>>

I didn't even interpret his shadiness as an Indian thing either. I thought it was a more general parody of sketchy convivence stores.
>>
>>216011553
It's not as though Apu could've held back the floodgates anyway. It's like saying Mickey Mouse could've prevented all the rats from spreading the bubonic plague during the Black Death.

Mistah Shankar: "hey Apu, you give Pajeets like me a bad name"
Apu: "I work for a living, what do you do, sir?"
Mistah Shankar: "I jack off to white girls on live jasmi... and make youtube videos about racial stereotypes"

>>216010655
Racism towards Indians is at an all time high on the internet so I don't know
>>
Some old ass lady randomly brought up the Indian poop festival to me. It's kind of over for the country.
>>
>>216011995
Realism towards Indians is at an all time high on the Internet due to direct exposure to Indian behavior so Apu isn't relevant whether he's on the show or not.
>>
>>216010987
Lmao.
The content of their character has been revealed
>>
>>216010655
Showed the world how sensitive Indians really are. When they say shit like "fuck you mother bitch" they're not trying to get a rise out of you, they're actually completely and utterly fuming and seething that you didn't give them $500 dollars in google play gift cards.
