When I google the title, all I see is SJW outrage over the latest Simpsons episode.

Here is an LA comedian Rajiv Satyal's criticism of The Problem with Apu.

Here's what I think: this documentary is well-done, and it is driven by a noble pursuit of truth and justice. But it puts forth an argument that will simply make a lot of people roll their eyes. When that happens, we actually take the progressive movement backwards.

The "progressive movement"? Lol, you mean the degenerate movement.

Why isn't there a documentary about the German exchange student in The Simpsons, Üter Zörker? Or does this guy actually see him as a positive representation of Germans?

There is no "progressive movement". Western civilization has been the "progressive movement" dating back to the ancient Greeks. What you call the "progressive movement" is actually REGRESSIVE in every way it tries not to be. It's the antithesis of progress. 80 genders? Gender pronouns? Safe spaces? "Manspreading"? Cultural appropriation? Trigger warnings? Does THAT sound like progress to you?! Christ if the great philosophers, writers, and soldiers of millennia past could see us now they would weep for all of the struggle, blood, sweat, and tears that went into forging this great society.
