'The Problem with Apu' and the American immigrant stories that aren't being told

Hari Kondabolu has been thinking about how he fits into America for some time. Growing up the son of Indian immigrants, he has experienced cultural exclusion and negative stereotypes, reflected most potently in the character of Apu from "The Simpsons." He joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the documentary he made about Apu, as well as his standup in the age of Trump.
