Sometimes just because it wasn't intended doesn't mean it didn't occur. When that drunk driver got behind the wheel of a car he didn't mean to kill anyone but they did. That is an extreme example but it makes the point. So when people speak up because they are hurt, you don't say well I didn't mean it that way, you listen, correct it, and do better in the future.
and i'm sure all of this popping up at the height of outrage culture had nothing to do with it, this guy was just seething with deep psychological wounds over the torment of Apu for 29 years and was just now brave enough to say somethingpeople need to get the hell over themselves and companies need to stop placating these whiny schoolmarms who aren't their target audiences to begin with and seem to only exist to ruin things that other people enjoy.

I don't think we should be mocking people for calling out legit problems, even if it means we have to face that we've enjoyed a character that has hurt others.
i'll spare you what i'm sure will amount to deep emotional distress and not tell you that they literally have a character named "Old Jewish Man" in the cast![]()
If everyone thought like this we would be stuck in the dark ages, yes it takes courage to say you have been in the wrong for 29 years and I am no longer going to stand here and take it. Just because something has been done for a long time doesn't make it right. It's not placating, it's doing the right thing. I know people hate when their status quo is challenged and want to be hateful towards those speaking up. It just says more about them than the people are insulting.
