I’ld be curious to see them revive Speedy with the less-than-flattering characters.

Every culture has a stereotype of a lazy/drunk/yokel, but there’s a proportion issue. A village of regular workin’ mice, one or two lazy slow or old mice and it’s no problem.

Apu wasn’t a problem at first, outside of him being voiced by a white dude doing Indian face, his orginal character was he was a hard working immigrant who had thinly veiled frustration for the lazy spoiled idiots he has to serve to make ends meet. Only to end it with the expected nice-ities expected of a clerk.

I’m not Indian though, and it’s been a while since I saw the early seasons. Grain of salt. Cutting him out of the show whole cloth sucked though, not a ton of Indian characters on TV.

Atleast Bob’s Burgers brought back Marshmallow when they decided to retool her a bit.
