Hank has a net worth of $90,000,000 according to the internet. That is more than enough to ensure his family will be well taken care of for generations.

Since he feels so guilty about his 30 year characterization of Apu, the I suggest he no longer take royalties for performing the character and donate them to an India based charity.

In The Bird Cage, he played Agador who is a caricature of a LatinX LGBTQ. He is neither Latin X or LGBTQ. He should apologize and dedicate his future royalties to appropriate charities.

To show he is really serious, he should refuse to take tax deductions for the charitable contributions. That would offset the money he made for the past 30 years of doing these offensive portrayals.

They should keep doing Apu and other Indians. Those Indian dudes are funny as hell.

LatinX didn't exist when Adador existed. Also, there are millions of Gay Latinos and Latinas who don't like the LatinX moniker because as a word it can't be pronounced in Spanish.

If some Hispanic non-Binary doesn't like being called Latino or Latina and prefers to be called LatinX then that's fine, but don't paint all other people who don't want to be labeled that LatinX.

Regardless, Hank needs to put his money where his mouth is. He isn't Latin. He isn't gay. His performance was mocking.

I just learned Hank is playing gay and Cuban on The Simpsons. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9505189/The-Simpsons-recasts-second-character-voiced-Hank-Azaria-Marges-gay-Cuban-hairdresser-Julio.html

Looks like Hank is losing money due to wokeness. His LatinX, gay hairdresser will be recast. Soon Hank will only be able to playing aging Jewish hetero men.
