After what she did in that movie Fashion, I am surprised no body is demanding apology from her


It's because black people don't know about it. I have seen some of them hating on her for giving an interview where she claimed she was bullied by a black girl in school.

What she said about Apu isn't wrong but I detest Priyanka being some ambassador for Indians in America. She says anything for attention so I can't take her seriously in anything. Right now she's busy going around talking about Megan Markle and the royal wedding, claimed to have tried out lesbianism, is willing to date a guy who smokes weed and would enjoy s&m. And btw that was all in a 5 minute clip I came across. In India, she's a UP Bareily ki ladki, etc.

She will say anything and everything that is in vogue or will keep her in the headlines.

@bold Are you talking about old "Koffee with Karan " episode?

I think what she has accomplished is great, wish she would get off the grievance bandwagon

He terrible show is being renewed for third season on a network channel in prime time. Shes everywhere on TV and magazines, award functions, if she can't be happy about it atleast stop complaining.

BLUE - Another reason she should be grateful

Simpsons makes fun of Chinese, Italian people as well. It might not be right but its not exclusive to Indians. And i am sure Priyanka made up the story about being teased, she falsifies her accounts a lot just to fit in.


The Chinese have their own problems with stereotypes but I am not sure if any Chinese or Italian people were bullied using Simpson characters.

Apu is not really an issue for Indians, it is an issue for Indian-Americans, also other desi Americans. And now it might be an issue for Bollywood actresses who are trying to find a role in Hollywood. Yeah Americans don't want to hire, they think your are female Apu, thank you come again! Most desis have heard Apu jokes from Americans, probably not much these days since people are more culturally aware but a decade ago it was a huge issue.

Priyanka's stories sound fake as f. But Apu is an issue and it should be talked about.

Oh remember this gem? 🤪🤣

Chopra has experienced what it is like to face racial abuse after one of her songs was used as the theme for Thursday Night Football on American TV. "My song replaced one from Faith Hill, who is like the all-American girl, says Chopra, "and suddenly there was this brown girl and the NFL got so many emails from fans saying: Who is this Arab terrorist?' I got so much of it, too. She laughs it off: "I find it really funny that people have such primitive thinking. She decided to speak openly about it during interviews. "I called them out. I said: Why is every Arab person a terrorist, and why am I an Arab terrorist just because I am brown?'
