In a spectacular win for social justice warriors and the Twitter outrage mob actor Hank Azaria has announced that he will no longer voice the character of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on the hit animated sitcom, the Simpsons.

The Simpsons had been levelled with severe criticism in recent years for certain characters in the show such as Apu who supposedly portray negative stereotypes.

The immigrant Indian convenience store owner is one of the shows most beloved characters but with the rise of “woke cancel culture” the show has been under pressure from keyboard activists to scrap the show stalwart.

Other stereotypical characters however, such as the aggressive drunken Scottish Groundskeeper Willie do not appear to upset the woke progressives.
