Apu is a middle aged Indian male in the Simpsons. He works/owns the Kwik-E-Mart. This is a stereotypical view because we think of Indian males or families to own a shop. It's not necessary a negative representation of race but it aids our stereotypical view. Another programme where this same stereotype is portrayed is Coronation Street with Dev. Dev is also a middle aged Indian male who owns a corner shop.
