That guy is a ####ing moron.
He legit doesn't understand that the stereotype is intentional just like all the other hilarious and borderline offensive stereotypes on the show.

For years Apu Nahasapeemapetilon was the only person of South Asian descent depicted on US TV at all – a problem because he is a broad stereotype whose clownishness is his singular purpose. He exists to provoke a laugh. He is a cartoon literally and figuratively. What’s especially troubling about Apu as a stereotype is that, until recently, very few viewers in the US outside of the Indian-American community have addressed, talked about, or even recognised that Apu is a stereotype.

I mean honestly, is this guy serious? First off, he's wrong to say that very few people realize that Apu is a stereotype and second of all, even if they don't, should we really be banning characters because a bunch of uneducated moron americans don't understand the concept of a stereotype?
