You can't be blamed for making a character and then other people using it as a insult I'm glad you addressed it but you did nothing wrong

Appreciate this, but it’s not “may not have aged well” when it was *always* problematic, not just after a tipping point for white people’s awareness.

appreciate this response a lot! some of these comments don't pass the vibe check though. i wouldn't say the creators are fully absolved from blame...

You did nothing wrong with making a character. The people using the name as an insult created a problem you should be fine

It wasn't only south asian kids! I knew African American kids with lighter skin and Hispanic Kids who would be called Baljeet all the time

i love the show! but saying he became a ‘more well rounded character’ when almost his entire personality was obsessed with things like ?

Rather than saying first, let’s comments real stuff. He’s talking about something important. Way to explain it man💯

Baljeet is not problematic. He’s a cartoon character. However, using him as an insult and a way to deman REAL people IS problematic.

Imagine calling someone Baljeet as an insult. Y’know, Baljeet, the sweet, tender, patient, intelligent, heart of the P&F crew. As an insult. The nerve
