@Beatbox34 It's not voice of a real Indian. Hank Azaria has apologised for voicing the Indian character Apu on The Simpsons.
Hank - who's white - Speaking on Dax Shepherd's Armchair Expert podcast, the actor said: [i]"Just because there were good intentions it doesn't mean there weren't real negative consequences to the thing that I am accountable for."[/i]
He then apologised to the podcast's co-host, Monica Padman, who's Indian-American.
[i]"I really do apologise. I know you weren't asking for that but it's important. I apologise for my part in creating that and participating in that. Part of me feels I need to go round to every single Indian person in this country and apologise."[/i]
