It seems that the character of Apu will be departing the Simpsons, apparently people don't like the fact that Apu is voiced by a non Asian actor.
It seems to be current "group think" that actors have to actually be the person they are acting, eg actors playing gay people have to be gay and actors playing heterosexuals have to be straight etc.
I thought that the nature of "acting" was to create a believable character, irrespective of the background and experience of the actor playing the role. After all Alec Guinness played Hitler in "Hitler The Last Ten Days", and yet I am pretty confident Guinness has never conducted genocide!

We plebs in the street know this is madness. Sheldon in the Big bang Theory is supposedly straight but the actor playing him is not. Having played dame in panto many times and can state, for the record I am a man. As Captain Black Jack I was a pirate king but I am not a seafaring criminal. And so on. Madness. The lunatics are trying to run the asylum.
