You mean the controversy people wanted you to believe was there and then disappeared after a week and nothing changed?

Yes, but it was the first time he had ever heard about it so obviously it's fake.

The script that introduced him pointed out how racist Apu was, because it came with instructions that the clerk should not be Indian.

Hmmmm, a black man who is obviously in love with the white man he's a servant and borderline slave to....Yeah, that, uh, that has some unfortunate implications to it.

The first season had issues because the animation studio they were using had no clue what they were actually going for with the show. Like the one with the criminal babysitter was actually supposed to be the first episode but it was so hosed up when they got it they had to basically reanimate the entire episode .

Yeah, the writers have stated that it's canon that in his first appearance he just had a really dark tan at the time as a way to explain the animation error.

The season one dvd goes into this and i think even shows some of the hosed up animatics they had.

Even the rejected stuff still has more skill, imagination and bloody life put into it, that even the intro segment of the new crap has.

IIRC this was nuked for adding extra jokes (like Marge's lips hitting the door) and boy would that be a good problem for the show to have these days

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.
