Whilst not in the traditional sense, i see it as just as rascist to put a person in a role purely because they are the 'right' colour.
On a slightly different issue in todays news, there is some comment on how terrible the bbc are as 88% of their highest earners are white. Is that not a pretty fair representation of the overall population of the uk? And if so, why is it deserving of comment? Should we have a disproportionate number of bme peopel being high earners?

Is the point not that it doesnt fit with the narrative though. Not a lot of black, privately educated, scottish landowners moving in the circles of london high society and climbing rhe pole at MI6 - it doesnt ring true.
Characters like Luther, i agree are colourless, but Bonds backstory is an important part of his character.
That being said, i really like idris elba so not overly concerned. I just worry it is being done for all the wrong reasons (just bevause something can be done, doesnt mean it necessarily should)

Just seen a trailer for a new drama featuring Jodie Whittaker where she is impersonating a doctor and says "I'm not a real doctor"
That's going viralThere is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.
