'Simpsons' creator Matt Groening once again fails to address Apu criticisms

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has proved once and for all that he really doesn’t want to talk about or learn from the criticism around the series’ most controversial character: Apu.

Groening addressed the Apu controversy in a recent interview with The New York Times, adding basically nothing of value to the conversation that gained widespread traction after the 2017 documentary The Problem With Apu by comedian Hari Kondabolu. Apu, an Indian convenience store owner with a stereotypical accent done by white actor Hank Azaria, has long drawn oft-ignored criticism.
