AP The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean said today he’ll continue “to try to find an answer that is popular & more important right” after a couple days of engaging with Twitter … We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Just saying, “Hey, we understand that this was hurtful now. We apologize, and are going to learn to create something less hurtful to many of our fans.’ This is the wrong battle”.Jean didn’t address that one specifically, but when another commenter on the thread suggested, “Follow that up with hiring more poc [people of color] in the writers room,” Jean offered a one-word answer: “agree”.Do you know how easy it is to put this to bed? It’s not what we wanted, but that’s what it is. Really. "The junior minister for equality and the only Black member of the French government, Elisabeth Moreno, tweeted that, "I don't share Danielle Obono's ideas, but today I offer her all my support. Really.

She admires him.”Asked by a commenter why hiring another actor besides Azaria (presumably meaning an Indian actor) is “such an issue?,” Jean said, “It’s not. You shared an article from the national review…obviously they are the forefront of racial equality and representation. It was deemed unsatisfactory — there’s no solution I fear that will satisfy.”That answer certainly did not satisfy everyone, as a commenter quickly asked, “you took one swing and that’s the end?”, to which Jean responded, “we’ve been trying to make Apu nuanced, sympathetic and (more than our other characters) admirable for 30 years.”Retweeting a pro-Apu article from the National Review, Jean drew a quick commenter response: “99% of the press you got was bad. He asked Jean … Uproar in France after magazine depicts Black MP as chained slave. Man I really loved this show. He taught her to be vegan. One is free to hate it. Legislator Danielle Obono slams far-right magazine's illustration as 'racist s***' amid widespread condemnation. Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. This is sad.”Since then, Jean has been discussing the situation with his Twitter followers.In one exchange, Jean tweeted, “For those who’d ask why Lisa would defend Apu: he’s her friend. A French far-right magazine's drawing of Black lawmaker Danielle Obono as a slave with chains around her neck has triggered an uproar, prompting anti-racism campaigners to consider legal moves to counter rising hate speech in the country.In a Twitter post, Obono blasted the illustration in the latest issue of the Valeurs Actuelles publication as "racist s***" and described the country's extreme right as "odious, stupid and cruel".The legislator from the far-left France Unbowed party later told the BFM broadcaster that, "I hurt for my republic, I hurt for my France" and called the depiction a political attack on her and others who fight against "the racism, stigmatisation that millions of our compatriots are subjected to".Prime Minister Jean Castex tweeted on Saturday that the drawing deserves "unambiguous condemnation", while President Emmanuel Macron called Obono and "expressed his clear condemnation of any form of racism", according to his office.The head of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, wrote on Twitter: "At her side in the fight against racism and for the respect due to all elected representatives of the republic. "A similar refrain came from politicians from multiple parties, including an official from France's far-right National Rally party, Wallerand de Saint-Just, who said the story was "in absolute bad taste".Meanwhile, the anti-racism body SOS Racisme deplored rising hate speech against Black politicians and those of Arab descent and said it was mulling what legal measures could be taken to tackle this.      Valeurs Actuelles defended the illustration by saying it was featured as part of an annual summer fiction series in which characters from politics, art or the media travel through time.In the issue, Obono travels to the 18th century and, according to the magazine, experiences "the horrors of slavery as organised by Africans in the 18th century".The magazine rejected having racist intentions but said in a statement it understood how Obono was "personally hurt".France saw multiple protests in June and July against racial injustice and police brutality inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd's police killing at the knee of a white policeman in the United States.Macron, a centrist who raised eyebrows when he gave an interview to Valeurs Actuelles last year, has pledged to root out racism.
