A white man cannot persuade a cartoon character from a minority. The series will be fired by Simpson

After the death of black George Floyd, who was suffocated by a white police officer, a wave of demonstrations against racism arose in the USA. After a month of relentless protests, during which shops were looted, but also the destruction of statues of historical figures who, according to the demonstrators, did not behave according to today’s standards of decency. Now this fight against racism has reached new heights. See for yourself.

If it seemed to you that for actors who dub cartoon characters, skin color will not play a role, because these actors are not visible and are only audible, you would be really wrong. American television NBC announced that non-white characters from the cult The Simpsons will no longer be dubbed by white actors.

The Simpsons series came under fire due to an Indian character named Apu, spoken by actor Hank Azaria. According to critics, the character embodies racist stereotypes. After criticism, Azaria announced that she would no longer dub the character.

The changes will also affect the Family Guy series, where white actor Mike Henry announced that he would stop dubbing the black character Cleveland after 20 years.

He got a stop in the discussion under his post on the social network Twitter. One of the black viewers wrote to him that the skin color of the dabers didn’t matter. It is important to revive the character properly with the voice of the character, and it is said that Mike Henry has been doing well for twenty years.
