"The Problem with Apu" trailer (airing tonight on TruTV at 10pm)


Video from today with Hari's PBS interview

 Throughout his career, comedian Hari Kondabolu has tackled the tough  topics of race and inequality in the U.S. His new documentary, “The  Problem With Apu,” looks at the character of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on  “The Simpsons” -- a convenience store owner voiced by actor Hank Azaria  -- and the effect the show has had on portrayals of South Asians in  media.

More political correctness. Yuck.

Not sure what type of feeling or mood to expect from a documentary other than something informative, no "yucks" to that lol, information isn't a bad thing. The dude who made the documentary enjoys The Simpsons. I seen writer Simpsons (and current awesome show Stan vs Evil) Dana Gould in one of the trailers and also I believe voice of Apu, Hank in it as well.
