Overseas.net, June 27th. The producer of the American animation "The Simpsons" announced on Friday evening (26th) local time that the animation will no longer allow white actors to dub the colored characters in the animation.
According to reports by the National Broadcasting Corporation and the Russian Satellite News Agency, in recent years, the animation "The Simpsons" has been due to the white actor Hanz Azaria (Hank Azaria) to voice the role of an Indian-American Apu in the animation. Under criticism, the audience believes that the setting of Arp's role is a manifestation of racial prejudice. The actor Azaria announced earlier this year that he will no longer voice the character. It is unclear whether the role of Apu will be deleted after this animation, or it will be rewritten together with other colored people's characters including Apu presented by white actors.
After the Freud incident, large-scale protests against racism broke out in the United States. This has also prompted many media companies to initiate a review of their content and delete content that is controversial in describing people of color.
