Hank Azaria has officially confirmed he will no longer be voicing the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on “The Simpsons.”
“I think the most important thing is we have to listen to South Asian people, Indian people … about what they feel and how they think about this character and what their American experience of it has been.”
Though Azaria has stepped down, show creator Matt Groening has different opinions about the criticism towards Apu’s voice.
