Well look, I’m not a hero, by the way.
I got dragged to this, okay?
And I couldn’t get out of it because I had this professional public decision to make.
There were a few things that were linchpin moments in that decision.
Especially when guys who were in more stereotypical professions were hated on physically and called Apu.
That wasn’t great.
That means it got away from us, something got away.
Of course, we didn’t mean it that way.
He knew I was Jewish, and he’d kid around with me this way.
That is the key part that Apu is what they had, for better or for worse.
And every time, you know, people just ask “Hey, do you talk like this?
Does your father talk like this?”
I probably wouldn’t love that.
He experienced the many struggles and joys of running the Kwik-E-Mart.
He also worked hard to raise eight children with his wife, Manjula.
As such, whilehe is a problematic character,Apu is also a character who has endeared himselfto many.
Despite this, there are still some whowish for Apu to return in a sensitive manner.
