Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn't say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it's entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.

The "This is why we can't have nice things" guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you're portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.

There needs to be a legally mandated option to turn off all recommendations and tracking, and to require consent to enable it in the first place.

I'm not a big fan of animal agriculture, but I don't get why milk is singled out, as if we don't consume the dead bodies of animals, bodies that weren't "meant for" anything other than sustaining itself.

And we've been doing it for thousands of years, selectively breeding and domesticating cows for the purpose. Humans drinking cow's milk is more natural than carrots being orange.
