The Watch Young Woman Bai JieSimpsonshas responded to the Apu stereotyping controversy, and not everyone is down with how it was handled.
In the fifteenth episode of Season 29, "No Good Read Goes Unpunished," Marge reads Lisa "her favourite book ever," The Princess in the Garden, which has troubling stereotypes of Irishmen and South Americans.
SEE ALSO: 50 years later, MLK's Poor People's Campaign is back — and more needed than everAghast at the depictions she didn't recognise as a youngster, Marge edits the book to make it ostensibly less offensive for this day and age. The book's lead character Clara is now a "cisgender girl," who releases wild horses and fights net neutrality.
Lisa dismisses the story as having "no point" because the character is already well-developed, leading to a discussion that indirectly references the Apu controversy.
"Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?" Lisa said. It follows with a shot of a framed picture of Apu.
"Some things will be dealt with a later date," Marge replied. "If at all," Lisa said, before the pair look into the camera.

Last year, comedian Hari Kondabolu was behind the documentary The Problem With Apu. It unpacked The Simpsons' damaging South Asian caricature, Apu, and how people had to grapple with the troubling stereotype of a convenience store clerk with an exaggerated, fake Indian accent since the show's existence.
Actor Hank Azaria, who voiced Apu, said earlier in the year that the show's writers would "definitely address" the criticism, but in light of Sunday's episode, it appears they don't care.
Kondabolu said on Twitter on Sunday the show's response was a jab against "what many of us consider progress."

There were also many people who weren't cool with the show's writers using Lisa, the show's most socially progressive character, to be the voice of the response.
