The Simpsons stops using white actors to voice characters of colour


The Simpsons will no longer use white actors to voice characters of colour, the show's producers have said.

The news was confirmed amid growing pressure on the entertainment industry to provide more opportunities for diverse performers.

In a statement on Friday, Fox television said: “Moving forward, ‘The Simpsons’ will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters."

It follows a recent spike of white actors saying they will no longer voice non-white characters in animated shows.
