Featuring interviews with Aziz Ansari, Kal Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, W. Kamau Bell, Aasif Mandvi, Hasan Minhaj, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Aparna Nancherla
and more, the hour-long documentary premieres Sunday, November 19 at 10PM ET/PT on truTV.

@SportsFanatic314 Wrong. You're taking the movie out of context. In HAROLD AND KUMAR 2, a racist white lady on a plane sees Kumar, she has a paranoid daydream about Kumar being a terrorist, so she yells, "Terrorist!," causing Harold and Kumar to be wrongfully sent to Guantanamo Bay; it's in the trailer. The movie's making an anti-racist point. Context matters. And to @Vilatoro, who is wrong for taking the first movie out of context: A troublemaking white hooligan in the first movie says, "Thank you, come again," in an Apu accent to Kumar after the hooligan criminally ransacks a gas station. Later, after Kumar gets the upper hand against the hooligan, Kumar yells, "Thank you, come again!," at the hooligan, in reference to the hooligan having said it previously. And, to @ghostface93wu4eva: Kal Penn took his VAN WILDER role under duress because there would've been no other way to start his film career. The issue was, at the time, there was underrepresentation of South Asian Americans in Hollywood pop media; it's already nearly impossible to have a Hollywood film/tv acting career anyway, even for white people.

I’m going to be honest, I’ve been looking at videos of this guy all day and I haven’t seen one person who has attacked him who has also listened to what he was saying. He’s not saying Apu is a bad character or that the character doesn’t have as much depth. In fact he doesn’t really care about the character in question. The movie is more about the result of Apu, the Simpsons was so big that Apu, one of the few Indian characters in media, came to represent all Indians. He’s well aware that the show is about stereotypes and that every character is a stereotype, he’s just talking about having this incredibly exaggerated characature define what an Indian person was to a whole generation of Americans because there were so few Indian characters in general. If it happened today he’d probably find it less offensive because there are a ton of Indian actors in tv shows so Apu wouldn’t be how America viewed Indians. That’s more or less the point he’s trying to make.

The problem with the character isn't even so much that he's a stereotype. The problem is that for a long time he was _the_ Indian character. Like, the only one. No one points at a Scot and goes "Hey groundskeeper Willie, what are you doing outside of Springfield" because there's a hundred different depictions of Scots and Italians and Hispanics in media.

As an Indian, I really don't find any problem with Apu. If anything, he is one of the more fleshed out side characters in an animated television show. He is as much a stereotype of Indian culture to a Westerner's eye as Homer himself is emblematic of popular blue collar conceptions of idiocy. And oftentimes, he is often shown to be one of the more brighter characters in the simpsons universe (given that he is probably the only character besides Professor Frink who has a PhD )

The idea being that the perception of Indians is dictated by the few that appear in media, e.g. Apu and a few other stereotypical Indians. So now, stupid white people go around making fun of Indians as they see them popular represented with the mocking accent and ask "do you own a convenient store?" or say "thank you come again". Whereas, do you think anyone goes around mocking Scottish people like as if they were groundskeeper willie? No, because Scottish people are ALSO portrayed as brave and proud (e.g. Braveheart). Indians don't have any of these praiseworthy portrayals.

So it is bad to asociat him with a guy that has his own supermarket, helps his friends multiple times (one of the beste examples would be the episode in which lisa became veggie), has a wife and kids, is liked by everyone in town, has cool hobbies like bowling, because he talks a bit funny like chef wiggum, ralph, willy, bee man etc.? I would be proud to be like apu but too bad that he has an accent, i guess that ruins his whole charactere that was build for over 20 years.

Yes, it certainly does! Because the lazy-ass ignorant whities, the show's primary target-audience - project his characteristics onto real-life individuals who "look like him". They are so much in their "First World" bubble that they ludicrously suck in Anthropology. And the entire argument is proven by the fact that many of your compatriots are using "but, but.. He sounds exactly like Indians!" as a defence-argument - that's like a murderer saying "but, but.. I helped the law by killing a bad guy!" (regardless of the statement's factuality). And thus, there's nothing else to prove reasonably.
