I'm not a fan of Arsenal but they have had some top quality overseas players like Henry and Bergkamp, this clown isn't fit to lace their boots, I sort of feel sorry for genuine Arsenal fans, even though I'm pleased we took 6 points from their team.

As you know, they came for him a couple of years ago: https://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?363212-Apu-Nahasapeemapetilon

Hank Azaria stepped down a while back, but there was no word on how the show would handle Apu without his original voice actor, other than they had planned to keep the character on the show.

I suppose it's becoming news today as a number of animated shows with non-white characters being voiced by white actors have announced a change to that practice;

Family Guy (Mike Henry voiced 'Cleveland')

Big Mouth (Jenny Slate voiced 'Missy')
Central Park (Kristen Bell voiced 'Molly')

Simpsons are actually stopping white actors voicing any non-white characters, which is weird since they're yellow, but I guess their whiteness is implied by the existence of black and brown characters (Carl Carlson, Dr Hibbert, Apu's wife and kids).
