I remember a few years ago when Harry Shearer wanted to retire because the show wasn't funny anymore and Al Jean got super huffy about it so Al overreacting for the dumbest reasons isnt surprising

While discussing the show’s latest milestone (most episodes for a primetime scripted series) with USA Today, Groening was asked about the criticism that Apu’s an outdated stereotype. He briefly lamented that kids these days are just so sensitive, saying “I’m proud of what we do on the show. And I think it’s a time in our culture where people love to pretend they’re offended,” which conveniently ignores the fact that Kondabolu and many other critics of Apu say they’ve always felt this way watching the show—it’s just that now, they have some standing from which to critique Groening and the other writers’ approach.
