Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Apu

No it does not mean this. As I tried to argue a few days ago, your question is based on the false assumption that the critique of Apu is simply that ethnic comedy is wrong. That is simply not what the critique has been. Apu is not the same as Krusty or Willy or Dr. Hibbert; most of the ethnic
