The Simpsons Voice Actor Hank Azaria Finally Apologizes For Apu Part of me feels like I need to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize. And sometimes I do. The Problem With Apu, explored how The Simpsons character perpetuates South Asian stereotypes and launched a larger conversation about whitewashing and racist voice casting that has boiled into the mainstream over the last few years. I can’t get over that ridiculous voice that’s unrealistic and goofy and the setting he’s in and the fact that there are about ten jokes that repeat themselves, like gods with multiple heads and arms, curry, the Kwik-E-Mart, go to the Himalayas, Kondabolu told me at the time. For most of The Simpsons s 30-plus years on TV, Apu was a fixture of the series, voiced by white actor Hank Azaria. Now, four years later, after stepping away from the role in early 2020, Azaria has apologized for the harm this character caused the South Asian community.
