* Apu from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', an Indian immigrant [[AsianStoreOwner who owns the Kwik-E-Mart]], was voiced by white actor Creator/HankAzaria. His accent is exaggerated, he occasionally mentions Hindu gods, and his speech can be verbose. The documentary ''The Problem with Apu'' has been super critical of the character. The character has been voiceless since "The Serfsons", and ever since the death of George Floyd, the series has been re-casting all non-white characters with POC actors, but Apu has yet to be recast.
