After all, why not do a movie about Mandela or Muhammed Ali and cast a white man! After all, we have to be fair, right?!

Well, apart from them being REAL PEOPLE, nothing at all

Some people on here are having real trouble with the factual/fictional divide. This could turn into another God debate!

As already stated. James Corden to star as Shaft! Or maybe Russell Brand as Huggie Bear!

Bond is white. Bond has history. He could be played by a black person, but that would be kind of stupid as he's supposed to be an incognito spy.

If he's incognito, how come he jumped off a mountain with a fking huge union jack parachute? Not exactly wise for a spy? And why attract attention to yourself by driving an Aston or a Lotus. Surely he should be in a Focus 1.6 Diesel.
Or maybe the writers are allowed to use artistic licence?

The name's Bond, James Bond

I know

What?...How?

It's easy - I was told to look for the only coloured bloke.

Coloured??? Seriously. You do know 1973 has finished.

Tell that to this guy:



He used the phrase, publically, 2 weeks ago, and I'd wager his opinion on the matter carries a fkload more weight and influence. In fact he's used the phrase in every speech I've ever heard him make.

Or is it OK because it's "their" word?

True, but the character has remained the same.
I'm no devotee, but one thing that I know - even as a non-devotee of Fleming is that Bond was white.

Danny Dyer could never play anyone other than Danny Dyer and sometimes he struggles with that

Really? Late era Roger Moore is exactly the same character as Dalton or Craig's Bond? Or the same as the books?

Basically he just needs to be a posh seeming secret agent who's a bit handy and gets on well with the ladies. The idea that he needs to be white to somehow preserve the character seems daft to me.

Get a grip you self righteous idiot.

Are you one if these professionally offended people? I bet you sit and knock one off whilst reading the PC handbook.

He's a n*gger - my wife is a n*gger as well. Never stops moaning. She could n*g for England.

"One of Bond's favourite drinks was the one before the first one".

Great line, that.

[DeanR32]

I've got the perfect bond for you lot

Chris Eubanks! I know he's way too dark for some of you, but he wears jodpers and a monocle!

Just teach him to act, and he's a winner!

[Blib]

He lisps and I'm virulently lispist.

+1 to this, although coming from this guy its no surprise, he easily qualifies as Ph's most self righteous member

I am offended that you are offended, there should be a self help group set up immediately to deal with those that are afflicted by being offended by others that are offended.

Offence at such outrage would be outrageously offensive! Probably. If somebody was easily offended. Do we know anyone?

Several fictional black characters have been suggested already - but strangely these posts keep getting ignored by the self righteous who instead seem to prefer to pick up on the few posts who have mentioned real people.

[Oakey]

So would it be acceptable to change other pop culture icons?

White Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

White BA Baracus?

Black Clark Kent?

Black Bruce Wayne?

Asian Peter Parker?

I think it's cute how you finish each other's jokes <3

It's interesting that someone suggested Colin Salmon who appeared in James Bond films in a different role.

Bond films love that.
A nice game is to try and spot actors who play different characters from film to film, there's loads.

He used the term, 'people of colour'.

Watchman said:

Colour is irrelevant to Bond as long as the actor can carry off "Englishness". Given that we've had a Scot, an Ozzy, and an Irishman represent "Englishness" so far, I think colour is irrelevant.

Quite. Skin colour utterly irrelevant.

One can argue the merits of specific actors but being 'white' is not a quintessential aspect of Bond.

[Asterix]

I'm a person of colour - I'm a sort of pinkish beige.

I'm also in shape - round is a shape, right?

Oh right, so "people of colour" is ok but "coloured" is racist. Silly me, I really need to try and keep up more, should have realised this is of course as the difference between the two is really obvious…..oh wait, its not…they are the same thing.
