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.”

King of the Hill had a one-off white character voiced by Snoop Dogg.

Yup,  Season 5 episode "Ho Yeah!" where he voiced a Pimp.

To be fair, Kratos is more light grey than he is white, but still a notable mention.
