Is Apu a stereotype? Yes, but he's in no way portrayed in a negative fashion. He's not ostracised because of his skin color, isn't called racial slurs, the other characters are accepting of him and his culture & religion. Plus he's portrayed as a successful married man & a well liked respecter character. The only thing is a white guy voices the character but Harry Shearer voices Dr Hibbert and there's no backlash over that. So it seems they are grasping straws attacking Matt over Apu. Fisher Stevens portrayed an Indian character in Short Circuit and there's an interesting article about it here

Imagine if some guy with all of that shit tattooed over his face jumped in your car at 4 in the morning. They probably had a heart attack thinking it was MS-13.

Well, 6ix was pissing off gang members with his "No Check In Tour", so a beat down was due. He's lucky he didn't get shot or killed. Don't he claim he a blood too?. You can't be a studio gangster without facing repercussions, so maybe he'll fall back with the braggadocio now.

Re: Celebrity News Thread
He claims he's a Blood. But the New York Bloods aren't the same thing as the West Coast Bloods, they're just using the name. Gangs like that really aren't an East coast thing, the East coast does organized crime like drug dealer crews that aren't as violent as West coast and Midwest street gangs. Like the New York Bloods say they have 5,000 members and the California Bloods say they have 40,000.

Needs more autotune.
Lyric fix!
"I admit I admit it I did"
"I done fucked with a couple of kids"
That rhymes better.

Re: Celebrity News Thread
Are they The OG members?, been years & years since I listened to CMB. Some of the old school groups still together but sometimes it's like one member and some new guys or girls. Dru Hill still together but no Woody or Jazz if I'm correct, 112 (think it's Slim and the other fellas), Boyz II Men still out there (Mike left along time ago due to health reasons), Silk, etc. Some groups go overseas - Japan, Europe where there still a market for their music and they are still draws so to speak. Out of the 90s era R&B groups/singers outside of like Beyoncé I can't think of anyone who'd still chart on the Billboard Hot 100 today. So that era of R&B is like nostalgia acts now.

Apparently Demi has a history of self harm, substance abuse problems and she suffers with mental health problems

Not a fan of her music but it's terrible she tried to take her own life at just 25.
