Apu learned in post-grad glasses that it was complicated again.

That gag is cute, and I'm aware I'm killing the joke here, but it would have been funnier if it weren't for the fact that underpinning the "economic factors, both foreign and domestic" was just more slavery. The South was utterly dependent on it for their economic security and social identity, and it informed every decision their leaders made.

Nah, Apu's PhD is in comp sci. The joke is his extensive education. It sucks that so many very talented and educated folks have to start a business to legally stay in the US.
