Everyone is so offended.

This "cultural appropriation" nonsense is blatant bulls#it.
Iv seen white people with dredds getting agro by sjw's over the subject but the same morons will see a black girl with straight blonde hair and love it.

One student commented: “White washing still exists, it’s been done enough in Hollywood, look at Liz Taylor in Cleopatra.”

This must be what our friend JawKnee meant when he said "..... how a university education enriches a person (in an intellectual sense at least)....."




I sincerely hope said student doesn't happen across the video of that Bangles song, they'll end up in a coma. With any luck.

I saw an article yesterday where Joanna Lumley was telling people to get over them selves and to stop being offended, this time over wolf whistling specifically.

I just don't understand how people can find offence in so many things.

Whilst I appreciate the traditional view of Bond, I can't see much wrong with that suggestion!

Christ I can. I'd be worried he would break into cool, blokey, matey mode and rather than foil the dastardly plot for world domination he'd go into raptures over boxsets on Virgin Broadband.

If that's what I think it is she used the term "Bobble Headed Lady" over and over again which too me is pretty offensive to bobble headed men.

[Mr Snrub]

They do make a very good point in that video - you can only get away with speaking to someone like that if you're privileged enough to know they can't retaliate.


Also found this linked off another video. I warn you though, clicking this link and watching the video will cause you to lose all faith in humanity

Bond is white, it would be an attempt at "blackwashing" if you follow their logic.

That said I think he'd make a bloody excellent Bond.

Does he have to be white though? Apart from the unlikelihood of a black man getting into that sort of privileged position when the books were written. What particularly marks him out as a white man?

might one imagine that there are not a surfit of Egyptian students at Bristol Uni? One might further hypothesise that of those that are there'd be an even smaller number of students that were

a: interested in acting
b: female (and interested in acting)
c: talented enough (and female and interested in acting)

I feel that it's about time Bond was a woman. It's the way things are going.

Even better if she was a woman who liked other women. So, we could keep the sassy Bond girls, and much carpet munching would ensue.

Win win in my book.

I'm just applying their logic.

I'd say Bond WAS written as a white male character.

He could quite easily be written as a black male character the next time.

TBH the Bond character has become such an archetype anyone could play him.

Put someone in a tux and a martini, have them chase a villain with an unusual tic and you've got a Bond film.

Change the name to Jane Bond and a woman could do it.
