Have no issues with him being black though, Iris Elba would be an amazing Bond

But it's all just conjecture.
I still don't understand the uproar about Dr Who. It's not as if there aren't far more important issues to be upset about.

With Bond however, it is a totally commercial enterprise separate to the BBC yet the latter gives Bond massive free publicity-- why?
And now we have to sign in to I Player to watch what I have already paid for via my license...

Bond being black, again shouldnt even be considered for anythi g other than the actor. Idris elba is a fantastic actor, one of my favourite. The skin colour being mentioned makes me cringe as in this day and age it shuldnt even be mebtioned. But we all know sadly it will.
Then there is the feminazis who come out with why cant bond be a woman, what sort of sexisit woman hating rhought process is that? (Im sure it was the bbc that had a bit about female bond and the comments section were unbelievable.) My whole point on that part was the pc gone made and i genuinly wouldnt belive it if they did hire a woman to show they are not sexist. Thats pc gone mad.

Personally, I couldn't care less about his skin colour and think that all discrimination, even discrimination of the positive variety, is wrong.
IMO it's time for a fat Bond...James Corden.

It's all about opinions and I doubt any of them are based on race.

The whole "Black Bond" thing is all a bit weird to me. Why not an Indian Bond or a Chinese Bond, they're also minority's in acting who don't get as many lead roles as white people. Or...why not just keep hiring white guys to play James Bond...a character who's always been a white guy. It's not discrimination to rule out non-white guys from playing a white guy. You wouldn't hire some long haired hippy guy to play Bond either, cos that's no what Bond is like.Last edited by easty; 19-07-2017 at 06:55 AM.

Having said that, I've never read any of the books, so I don't know if that's true.

James Bond is white. Over 20 films he's been white, he's white.
If there was a new series of Luther, and they cast a white guy to play Luther, I'd think that was equally as ridiculous.
The Dr Who thing, no reason a women can't play Dr Who, it's an alien who changes the way it looks every so often. It can be male, female, black, white, green, a siamese twin, whatever.

Dr Who's great innovation was that the premise allows the writers to take it any place at any time and gives ultimate flexibility in the character composition - and it paid for by the BBC from our license fees which give the makers more flexibility.

Quite like the look of that website though, might have a wee read.

Not sure my point got across very well.
People are complaining there is a female doctor who. Even some main stream news outlets. It's ridiculous for the many reasons stated.
My point I was trying to make r.e bond is you will always get people who find things to complain about. And you will always get racists. But why does our society and news outlet have to encourage it?
If idris Elba gets the job of bond. Or any other actor who is not a white person the news will refer to it as that xxx is the first black bond. Why does the skin colour have to mentioned? If it was a Jewish actor would the headline read xxx is the first Jewish actor to play bond? No.
I'm noticing it more and more (not saying it hasn't always happened, it's just I'm noticing it more.)
It works both ways of course. You don't have to like idris Elba as an actor or a bond and want someone else to do it. But as soon the skin colour is used as an argument it's racist
I don't get the reference to humpty dumpty being an egg. James bond is a human. Only a human would get the part. So changing humpty to a bottle in a nursery rhyme is neither here nor there

Thanks for pointing out that only a human would get the part though. That's cleared up a load of confusion on my part.
The bit in bold...are you saying it's racist for me to say I don't think Idris Elba should be Bond for the single reason that he's black? I might be reading what you're saying the wrong way.
