These are probably characters voiced by actor Hank Azaria. He voiced the voices of black agent Lou, Mexican Bumblebee Man and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, a grocer of Indian origin.
Last January, Azaria announced that he will stop playing Apu. He did that in consultation with Fox. There is a lot of criticism of the character, because the interpretation would be racist.

Also other series
Other series also make adjustments. Actor Mike Henry announced that he would stop speaking Cleveland in the Family Guy series. “I love this character, but he should be voiced by a black actor,” he said. Jenny Slate stopped speaking to Missy from the Netflix animated series Big Mouth.
