In the documentary "The Problem with Apu," filmmaker Hari Kondabolu examines the controversial character of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from the long-running animated sitcom, "The Simpsons." Released in 2017, the documentary argues that Apu, an Indian-American convenience store owner with a thick accent and stereotypical mannerisms, perpetuates harmful representations of South Asians in American media. The video clip embedded below, titled "Hari Takes Aim at a Beloved Stereotype," highlights a key moment from Kondabolu's film, in which he confronts the show's creators and challenges the enduring popularity of Apu.
