Jokes aside, I’m pretty sure Apu DID get retired as a character, no? They didn’t replace the voice actor with anyone else, probably because they think it’s “demeaning” for a guy with a funny Indian accent to do a.... funny Indian accent.

This is an exerpt from the character's Wikipedia page:

Simpsons creator Matt Groening stated in August 2019 that Apu would remain on the show. As of 2022, Apu has yet to have any further speaking appearances.

Apu was a shining example of an ideal immigrant.
