The voice actor maybe felt bed about being a white guy reinforcing indian stereotypes, or maybe felt pressured, but either way decided that he wasn’t going to voice him anymore, and they decided not to replace him and instead just never give Apu a line again.

Thanks. Not replacing him was an odd choice, though.

Yeah, all those stereotypes of Indian people being successful business owners, loving husbands, dedicated fathers, and all around decent folks really give the wrong idea about Indian people.

Why was she apparently removed before this? I never read the comics.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know enough about the lore to answer you on this.

Why is Ghandi there? The show itself was canceled, it’s been so long, anyone care to explain?
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 days ago

Te be fair, Troy McClure stopped appearing after his voice actor was killed.

Same for Isaac Hayes (Chef), though less murdered and more natural causes.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Chef was written out because Isaac Hayes lost his suit when South Park went hard on Scientology. They killed off the character well before Hayes died.
Davel23@fedia.io 4 days ago
No, Chef was removed at the request of one of his family members because of his association with Scientology. Isaac Hayes died two years after the removal of Chef.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Chef was written out for being a hypocritical scientologist who was fine with trashing everyone up until they put cruise in the closet. They killed him off in a you ain’t ever coming back way. He died two years after they killed him off in the show.
osanna@lemmy.vg 4 days ago
didn’t isaac hayes have an argument with matt and trey, because hayes was a massive figure in the scientology space, and south park making an episode criticising scientology? that’s what i heard.
