No longer a staple of the show because he was determined to be an insensitive stereotype, what was the correct spelling of the last name of Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu?

The owner of Springfield's famed convenience store, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon is one of the original characters on the series, but the Indian stereotype he played into became untenable for the series. Things came to a head in 2017 when comedian Hari Kondabolu released a documentary called The Problem With Apu. In 2020, producers of The Simpsons confirmed that they were quietly retiring Apu.
