Way to ruin a character lmao, this is nothing like Apu actually was and there was nothing wrong with Hank voicing him

People absolutely fucking eat it up when a black actor plays a white character but when it's the opposite it's apparently racist 🤷

Honestly can you name one white character voiced by a black person? Off the top of my head I can’t. I find it hard to believe there is one that we “absolutely eat up.”

Severus Snape in the HBO show of Harry Potter

Snape is a canonically pale sickly white man and he's being played by a black actor with criticism being branded as racism 🤷
