The problem wasn’t Apu or if he was played by a white actor or not, if he didn’t exist the kids would have made fun of you for anything that made you stand out.

Skin, what shoes you wore, what you brought home for lunch, do you like a girl, or heaven forbid a boy (back in the day). Kids are vicious.

It absolutely destroyed my self worth at the time, and made me embarrassed of my skin color, and I know that others experienced the same thing.
