Somehow, Lisa Miller has returned
It was already said about Troy Mclure. I’m still annoyed that a 3rd rate Indian comedian said “Apu is making us all look bad” Ahh yes Apu who is literally the hardest working person (besides Smithers) Apu a man who had 5 women dating him at one time. A man who got the hottest girl ever (The Squishish girl)… They decided that was offensive and against their race.
All I’ve got is “OI MISTER PRIME MINISTER” and “900 DOLLARYDOOS???”
I guess I’m entitled because 900 dollarydoos is fucking hilarious and I love being insulted.
I have some long lost Scottish heritage (ask the English and the Catholic Church why I can’t look up my history) and I Absolutely love everything about Groundskeeper Willie even his creepy phase of filming couples in their cars… "EVERY SCOTTISH PERSON DOS EET’
Aside from public remove reason, that character was become boring. I would expected them to remove him anyway
I’m pretty sure ‘dollarydoos’ is honourary Aussie now. It was in Bluey.

It’s reinforcing a stereotype. Apu was an interesting character when they expanded him, but he dealt with a lot of stereotypes and had a white guy voicing a fairly stereotypical guy.
Hank Azaria (or whoever it is voicing him) is cool with it, maybe check out his perspective
I’m sometimes a bit concerned that I do buy into the “white actors voice them better” trope.
I think last major instance I recall is Widowmaker from Overwatch. The fake French accent is generally much easier to hear their lines through, and they can build their vocal focus on the “sexy spy” theme.
It could be just that English actors are better at understanding cultural expectations to build on for their audience. I’ve had a hard time building investment in some characters with certain heavy native accents, which is tricky to think about.
I think preventing people from playong around with accemts and voices from other cultures is fascist, kills play, and blocks some pathways to empathy.
i guess we could do genetic testing before casting paid roles so all intended accemts will be allowed.
Making fun of nationalities is fine as long as it is funny enough.
