Hank needs to put his money where his mouth is

Hank Azaria has a net worth of $90,000,000 according to the internet. That is more than enough to ensure his family will be well taken care of for generations.

Since he feels so guilty about his 30 year characterization of Apu, the I suggest he no longer take royalties for performing the character and donate them to an India based charity.

In The Bird Cage, he played Agador who is a caricature of a LatinX LGBTQ. He is neither Latin X or LGBTQ. He should apologize and dedicate his future royalties to appropriate charities.

To show he is really serious, he should refuse to take tax deductions for the charitable contributions. That would offset the money he made for the past 30 years of doing these offensive portrayals.

Are you from an alternate universe or just joking?

"That is more than enough to ensure his family will be well taken care of for generations."

Why only generations?

I mean, a family with 90 million will probably remain wealthy as long as the family exists. There's no need to stop after 'generations', unless some generation really messes it up.

I mean, 'money comes to money', as they say, and the rich and powerful are always being taken care of by the system, while the masses are screwed.

You can make so many investments with that kind of money, that it doesn't even matter if half of them fail, you'll still soon double that money if you really want.

So your implication that after 'generations' (though you don't specify how many), the money somehow runs out and the family will no longer be taken care of.

Also, is it still 'his family', if there are new generations? With that logic, his family isn't even his family, but some grand-grand-grand-grand-grandafther's family, still.

Eeach generation is their own family, and they have their own families (possibly), so it's not just 'one family' after even a couple of generations, it could be like five families or more.

So your claim about 'family will be well taken care of for generations' is REALLY faulty for many reasons and on many levels - would you care to fix it?

Did you read the entire thread and see the post where I point out I am mocking the obviously insincere Hank?
