Nope, that's why there's a big fuss about it :p people that live near the church are saying it wasn't flooded like the pastor claimed.

Seems the church is preparing to open its doors now after the backlash... I guess they prayed to god to magically get rid of the flooding they claimed was the problem.

This whole actor pulls out of film because he isn't Asian thing is hilarious. The snowflakes are getting themseves in a right tiz about it, how right on he is, a hero of the people and so on.

Using their logic, presumably James Bond can never be played by a black actor then? A black actor in Shakespeare? A thing of the past!

I do wish people would fuck the fuck off with all this cultural appropriation/black face horse shit.

Since James Bond is a changing actor role, then yes, you can do it, it's fine - so long as you don't cast James Bond as a white man, get a black man to play him then spray him white.

It works both ways in my opinion - maybe not the i'm offended snowflake approach but more the the cringe factor just puts me off it.

I mean, he's a Chinese character in a film played by a white guy, gonna narrow his eyes and him a slight tan?

It's like Ben Kingsley, since his Ghandi thing, he's been playing loads of middle eastern characters in average film, every time I see him I just cringe.

The character in Hellboy is half-Japanese. I'm sure the huge pool of half-Japanese actors are thrilled a new opportunity has opened up.

Ben Kinglsey. The Ben Kinglsey who's father's name is Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji, that Ben Kingsley?

And they must make absolutely sure not to cast a Chinese or Korean fella in the role either, to avoid upsetting said Half Japanese/half indeterminate white origin actors.

I like Idris Elba a lot, he's a superb actor and I was astonished to learn after watching The Wire that he's English. But when his name was being bounced around for Bond, I didn't think he was right for the role. He's black, and I'm not sure to what extent James Bond is defined by his British, middle-class navy background, which seems to me to be very white (can you imagine the original M with a black Bond?) Is that important to Bond's character? I don't know so I'm still not sure. If it turns out that it doesn't matter then I'd love to see Elba doing that role, he's a great actor.

Hes a bit of a smug tit to be honest, full of himself and you can see him trying to make vanity look cool.

First thing I see on one of Gawker's SJW sites, some idiot writes and article suggesting a random bunch of Chinese and Koreans with the odd Japanese throw in for the role. Understandably,, everyone in tearing her a new one. Its not surprising; I remember a Guardian article once talking about some footbal club who'd just taken on a Japanese player and how useful he would be for bringing in the Asian fans, because of course they're all the fucking same...

ofc it doesn't matter. In the same way it doesn't matter that a white guy plays a half Jap/half white character from a comic. I think he would make a great Bond.

If the character is half asian then a white actor us as valid as an asian one.
Or is it to be mixed race only for the part.

I think Elba would work pretty well at the role - never read the books to see how "white"Bond was originally, but I wouldn't have an issue. A female Bond wouldn't work in the slightest however.

What if they are female but identify as male. Could they play James Bond?
