The Simpsons creator: 'We did not set out to exclude'

The Simpsons (2000 Fox TV for Sky One/PA)

The Simpsons’ creator has said casting white actors to voice non-white characters was not meant “to exclude”.

The US show, which has been on-air since 1989, faced criticism for having Hank Azaria, who is white, voicing Indian shopkeeper Apu.
