After watching this film, I think Hari Kondabalu is reaching with a lot of these arguments. For example, "'Thank you come again' has haunted Indian children for over a century." I am of Pakistani and Indian descent, and not once was I "haunted" or compared to Apu growing up in the United States during the 90's. I have talked with many of my South Asian friends/family about this film, and most of them also have never experienced such a comparison.Look I appreciate these actors sharing their stories and creating a dialogue about the lack South Asian representation in Hollywood, but using Apu and the Simpsons as a scapegoat is completely misguided. Like many others have mentioned, the film seems to miss the point that the Simpsons is a light-hearted satire, and the show pokes fun at SO many different stereotypes. That's one of the many reasons why we love the Simpsons! Overall, I really don't think there's a strong argument here, and I wouldn't recommend this film...

I'm pretty sure that all the haters giving this less than 8 stars are white people who have have been triggered by it. White people, please sit down, be humble. Now you dear reader, if you're reaading the reviews to decide whether to watch this or not, just go ahead and watch it. Read the reviews later and you'll see that all of them have raised criticisms that have been answered in the film itself.. only the reviewers were too riled up that Hari took their favorite show to task, to notice. Well, boo hoo! Not only is Hari 100% on point, he is funny while he's at it. There are also some great interviews and Whoopi Goldberg also appears! I think I'd watch it for Whoopi alone.. but there's so much more in this!Anyway just want to clarify one thing that all the haters here keep harping about, so, spoiler alert! Everyone knows that the Simpsons makes fun of all races, but those other races are better represented in media so you don't *just* remember them as the caricature from the Simpsons. But South Asianaare poorly represented so you'll think of all SAs as "Apu" and that's the problem.Thanks for reading. Please take your time to enjoy this wholesome and funny documentary style rant :)

This documentary talks about how people from India are stereotyped in movies and TV shows specially in Apu from The Simpsons.This is also like when mexicans are stereotyped and wrongfully portrayed in Hollywood, wearing hats and always living in a poor village when in reality many own very expensive cars and a lot of them wear suits and tie. The only movie that portrays mexicans really close is ¨Traffic¨, ironically the great actor Benicio Del Toro, portraying a Mexican is not Mexican.One thing that this documentary fails in, is when it talks about ignorance of the American people but it shows to be ignorant itself when referring to America as if it is only the United States. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the U.S. that America is a country, when in reality is a continent with more than 40 countries in it, including the United States and for many U.S. citizens this is a taboo they don't want to acknowledge which is in great part a selfish act, is a We are the only Americans in the world, there are no other American countries. I hope his changes one day starting in school and in the government.

..is that it tries to create a problem, where there really isn't one. That it tries to point its fingers, at a cultural artistic expression, and tell it, that it is wrong, and foul. Trying to shame it, and let us know, that it has the better, and right way of thinking from its pedestal of righteousness. Basically this movie represents the concept of cultural Marxism in its purest form.If people keep letting movies (and thought-controlling mentalities in general) like this get off the hook, or even worse, view it as a positive thing. And we constantly let other people tell us what is offensive, correct, and wrong, and how entertainment, opinions and art is allowed to be expressed, then we'll soon end up as the same grey mass in a dystopian padded cell of a socialistic future, where it'll be too late to turn back.
