For many of us, the Problem with Apu was a cultural milestone, a landmark. Finally, we minorities can have a voice, critically looking at the beloved cartoons of the past and exposing them for the, albeit entertaining, white-centric cartoons they are.

But for others, the Problem with Apu wasn’t enough. After all, why stop with Apu..? So after I got off of my job at Starbucks I decided it was time to expose all the whites in the voice acting industry who are threatening minorities with old, tired stereotypes and accents that were better left in the 20th century.

I soon landed at Family Guy and things got problematic right away with a familiar housekeeper. Consuela, an immigrant who is the family cleaning lady and can say only one word… no.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Family Guy, I’m not a SJW, I’m not a “hater”, although some of you might’ve already written me off as such. I’m just someone who hates to see Hispanics repeatedly stereotyped as non-English speaking, brainless housekeepers night after night.

No… no…

In fact, when I begin to look at Family Guy using Foucault's critical theory, I realized that the fact that Consuela’s one and only line in the show is “NO”, is the highest symbol of oppression. She, as an immigrant, can’t say yes to a country that denies her humanity, that denies her person-hood. But far from denouncing this, Family Guy encourages it. Every episode, it is pushed on little boys and girls, and on people who look up to these characters, because frankly there isn’t much other Hispanic representation on television these days.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Guess who voices Consuela, the Hispanic caricature of our hardworking immigrant mothers all across the country.

Mike Henry.

A. WHITE. MAN.

Stop and think about this idea, would you be OK with a white man pretending to play a Hispanic woman in a movie? Is that racist? What if she can’t speak the language? What if all she can say in her oppressor’s tongue is a feeble “No”. What if your kids grew up, seeing that, internalizing it?

This isn’t okay.

As the Problem with Apu bravely showed, we can make change if we all work together. After seeing Hank Azaria go on Stephen Colbert and admit it’s time to hang up Apu’s voice, I realized it’s time we demand the same of Consuela, who is similar in every way to Apu, except that she doesn’t even have male privilege. Anyone who stood up and decried Apu as outdated, should do the same with Consuela, it’s the same problem, deserving of the same solution.

It’s time to stop Mike Henry. It’s time to say NO.
