💨 Abstract

The Simpsons character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has been silent for nearly a decade due to criticism for perpetuating racist stereotypes. Voiced by Hank Azaria, the character was the focus of a 2017 documentary, "The Problem with Apu," which highlighted the harm caused by his characterization. After watching the documentary, The Simpsons staff froze, leading to Apu's silence on the show.
