So the reason that Apu doesn't work is because there aren't that many good indian characters in movies/tv shows and people will assume Apu is representative of all indians?
Isn't Apu one of the few good characters in the Simpsons in the sense that he doesn't come across as someone you wouldn't want to meet in real life?And there is one logical problem with making Apu into a realistic character.It wouldn't work in the caricatured world of The Simpsons.
Although i have a feeling the main reason that actress is bothered by Apu is because she claims to have been the butt of jokes in high school because she wasn't like Apu.I think she took high school a bit too seriously and forgot that kids and teens will always look for ways to make fun of you.Or maybe she's just an attention whore who suddenly found an easy target.Because judging by her looks i somehow doubt teenage guys were that assholish to her unless teenage guys in the states treat good looking teenage girls badly by default.
One last thing 'Aliens only land in America?' i guess she never watched District 9.

From the article:
Chopra puts on the Apu accent, and with an exasperated eye-roll, says “And all of us speak like that, all the time.”
“And what happened from that time and now, the number, the population of Indian-Americans in America has tripled since that time,” says Chopra, “So that voice is louder. Representation and the demand for representation for people of color is louder. There’s the Internet and the media, where people can have a conversation.”

The Quantico actress adds that she found the voice offensive long before the documentary, pointing out that when she was “in high school at 14, 15″ she was asked why she didn’t speak like Apu. “Or are my parents doctors?” She adds. “Did I find gold in my rivers? Did I go to school on elephants? I always had questions like that.”

From her wiki

Priyanka Chopra was born on 18 July 1982 in Jamshedpur, Bihar (now in Jharkhand), to Ashok and Madhu Chopra, both physicians in the Indian Army.

.....

During her teenage years in the United States, Chopra sometimes faced racial issues and was bullied for being Indian by an Afro-American classmate.[21][22] She has said, "I was a gawky kid, had low self-esteem, came from a modest middle-class background, had white marks on my legs ... But I was damn hard working. Today, my legs sell 12 brands.

The authors of the mary sue on the subject where respectively a latin american and african american. They either couldnt find or even be bothered to find a Chinese-American whose enough of an ass to bitch about the subject. Which is either a shining endorsment of Chinese Americans or a statement about how deeply lazy the sue is.

Considering the Chinese how they view themselves ideologically and their economic and political clout. SJW's have really got to stop seeing what shaping up to be an ascendant superpower like they're some sad refugees getting off the boat while being spat on by white people.

Who even cares about Sex In The City anymore? Are they doing a revival or something, or are they just digging up the corpse of the show for cheap nostalgia clicks?

Sex and the City is not even anywhere near approaching nerdy, that shit is for gay men and moms.

I've noticed that when SJW's complain about games they tend to start by saying 'Oh by the way i'm a gamer myself like legit yo.' and then they start their rant about x game being sexist crap.

It's a Shonen Jump game. It's got "Shonen" in the name.

Bitch, what the fuck did you expect?

It's okay, if there was a game featuring the most popular shojo manga characters they'd still be pitching a fit over all the dresses and skirts and romantic plots. They will never be satisfied with anything, but that works for us since they're providing us with free entertainment.
 
IDK those jokes and comparisons extend pretty far. I saw the "Melania = Ofdonald" memes on the Facebook timelines of Evangelical GOP voting women I know.
