It's not alternative medicine though? It's like regular medicine but instead of it being prescribed he just thought he'd ingest some based on his own whims.
Devito is the only person I can think of who would say his height is shorter than it actually is. Dude's probably like 5' 3" but downplays it.
Brown people take their shoes off outside the house?
This meme is bullshit. She's too tan for me to be wearing shoes inside her house, much less her room.
I did watch the docco, and unfortunately it doesn't really make it's case coherently or entertainingly. That's pretty bad because the creator is meant to be a comedian, and he really should have been able to ruin Shearer's career but he's just not all that great.
As for Apu, the reason he sucks is that he started as a caricature but somehow ended up a main character, and the creators have kind of painted themselves in a corner. Is he meant to be a wacky stereotype like the Italian chef, or are we meant to have pathos, like Skinner? Add that to the fact that there just aren't many Indians on screen, and you have Apu as mostly the only Indian representation on TV.
It's anachronistic, orientalist, and just a bit lame to do jokes like that. Heck, it was lame when they created the character, that's why the specific note was not to make him Indian, but Shearer did it anyway.
Super bunny hop literally did a video about this. Not satire.
