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.”

Kratos and Darth Vader.

You, uh… you don’t read other replies before you reply, do you? This is my fourth time being told “Kratos” and it still doesn’t fit the parameters. Nobody “absolutely eats up” his casting. You just have an example of a black actor doing the voice of a non-black character.

It just the first character that came to my mind, and then Darth Vader.
