We're not supposed to give a fuck but I'd dislike a black bond.

Write another character ffs. Or let Othello be played by a white girl.

Tbh - it's all make believe anyway so it's hard to care. But if Asian characters shouldn't be getting played by different types then maybe Elba as Bond would be blackwashing?

Or is it just colour we're supposed to be blind to? It's OK to have a black bond but not an Asian one?

It's all make believe dress-up and let's pretend anyway - so does *any* of it matter?

Hes just gone for more positive publicity than a part in a shit movie.
A black actor Bond movie would just stir up the loonies on both sides...I'm writing it now...we will see a gay/trans/disabled bond within 10 years.
Its the new. 'Have you got a problem with that?'

Actually an Asian Bond would be much more likely than a Black James Bond. But here's the thing; James Bond, or indeed any MI6 agent, is far more likely to be a white, ex-military, ex-public schoolboy than he is to be black, or Asian. Casting him as black is pandering, and less realistic than the casting he's always had. Doctor Who? Fine, fill your boots, colour, gender, orientation, all up for grabs (although after initial curiosity, I don't think Jodie Whittaker will be a ratings success, because no one bothered to check with the audience, which is primarily young boys), but James Bond simply makes a lot less sense as a minority.

It does to some people, apparently.

Meanwhile actual racism is ignored, in favour of this pish. #whitewash is easier to hashtag and move on, I guess.

For some reason I am having a really bad day off the cigs, been fine for most of the last month.

To make myself feel better I have eaten an entire tub of dairylea and a whole packet of chedders.

I feel sick and moody now.

When the human race finally fucks off and dies. Long overdue.

I actually think it will come full circle in 2021 when they remake Short Circuit. Ben Javerri ftw!

When they get rid of social media and people care about things that actually matter again.

Anyway, I am sure when they see it they won't mind too much.

Also, I can't wait to see who plays Long John Silver in the next film about him.

Edit, also, also. Why aren't people complaining about Daredevil too? The (shit) film and the TV series? There is a black fella that "sees" with sonar, the only viable choice.

Well. They have cast someone that can see as a blind person and some people with far too much time on their hands are moaning about it. Daredevil is blind and a man that can see was cast to play him, twice.

Yes, but you are an actual racist that dislikes people based on their ethnicity. You aren't casting people to play fictional characters.

ofc under any free society you are perfectly entitled to those opinions, just as much as everyone else is free to call you a bellend.

So for example if there's a bunch of Nazis discussing how they can mass-murder Jews, but there's no Jews in this room, so therefore it's OK?

lol.

Well you can give it a try, just get all your friends together in a room and then tell them your opinions.
