Synopsis:
"The Problem with Apu" is a documentary made by comedian Hari Kondabolu about the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on The Simpsons, an Indian convenience store owner. While Kondabolu is a self-professed fan of The Simpsons and the influence it has had on his comedy career, his documentary argues that while the character was a rare form of South Asian representation in the early 90's, his portrayal reinforced negative racial stereotypes against South Asians.
The documentary was referenced by The Simpsons several months later in a fourth-wall-breaking scene that was interpreted by some to be dismissive of the rise of so-called politically correct culture that led to the discussion surrounding the character.
