Flattening him as a stereotype does him a disservice he's a hardworking first generation immigrant who has a hot wife, yes he has an accent and works at a convenience stores but many first gen Indian-Americans have accents and a lot of them worked at convenience stores and fast food joints.

I’ve always hated the Simpsons, but from the little I’ve seen of it, Apu seemed like the only remotely likable character, FWIW.
In the vast majority of simpsons episodes Apu is the most normal person in the room other than lisa.
Lisa is not normal. Flanders is the normal one, if anyone is.
Isn't Flanders like unreasonably polite though?
He's tolerant. But occasionally loses it with Homer's bullshit.
