I know it’s a liberal show, but it still baffles me that they continue to be anti-Chinese and even go so far as to paint Mr. Burns as serving “red Chinese masters” (their words).
It was the Pie Man episode. Season 15 episode 19, “Simple Simpson”, apparently. Mr. Burns blackmails Homer to pie the Dalai Lama for his - as he says “red Chinese masters”.
Most Simpsons seasons were anti-nuclear and anti-Chinese in more than a few episodes. They sorta phased out the anti-nuclear stuff in recent years, but the anti-Chinese stuff stayed. Even later seasons have at least one episode with some snide joke about sweatshops or oppression. They got moderately less racist, though.
It seems Mr. Burns is writing articles for The Telegraph now.

Wait, what episodes/seasons do that? I watch quite a bit of the old episodes and didn’t notice.
