Not really surprised.

Schools won't even have Halloween parties anymore because some costumes are potentially offensive.
Can't say Merry Christmas, can't tell a girl she looks nice, can't question someone else's opinion because everyone gets offended.

I'm offended by everyone feeling offended.

In all fairness a man of Indian descent owns the convenience store here in town.

Quoted from o-din:

Won't that put a damper on making another Simpsons pinball machine?
Or do you think it's possible they could still make one ten to twenty years after the fact and still sell them?

Just label it "Retro" and people will eat it up.

On a side note, I'm hoping this topic does not offend a moderator so it stays out of the basement and/or unlocked.

But we've made several posts already. . . .

Oh, wait, you probably mean pictures.

The biggest stereotype on that show is oafish white guy Homer.

Beauty, Eh?!

I've not watched the show in probably 20?? or so years.
Everything jumps the shark sooner or later, when the ratings/money stops I'm sure they will move on.

Race, color, accent, sexual preference, etc. -- none of that bothers me.

I just tire of everyone that claims to be tolerant/open minded telling me what I can and can not be tolerant/open minded about.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Who exactly is telling people to be "tolerant," and then being intolerant when it comes to Apu?
Please cite specific examples as it relates to Apu. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

It is more of a general statement.

If you want groups trying to tell you how to think look to the Media, Hollywood, The Educational System, Misc. Activist Groups, etc.

My tolerance for this thread is about up, so I'm moving on.

Purple Squishies anyone? I'm buying.
