[quote:Anonymous Coward 74133141:MV80MDAxMTM0XzcyNDIyMDUxXzY0MjEyNjk0] [quote:2hot2handle:MV80MDAxMTM0XzcyNDIxOTMyX0I2MTY0NEM5] Well what's wrong with that? James Bond is an aristocratic upper class English playboy who drives fast cars and uses cool spy gadgets. James Bond is a product of a white English aristocractic upbringing. He most certainly is not black nor female. It's ridiculous to blackwash a white character like that. No black person would have that kind of cultural upbringing. How hard is it to create a wealthy black playboy character with his own personality and cultural upbringing? Black washing James Bond is just lazy and piggy backing off a well established franchise instead of creating your own new fresh one. [/quote] That's why they want to shit all over the bond character. He's the epitome of white privilege AND a remorseless killing machine dealing death to "people of color" worldwide and even in outer space! [/quote]

"But Ralph Fiennes has walked into a major casting row by saying that 007 should never change gender. Nor, he believes, should James Bond be played by a black actor.
Fiennes, who succeeded Dame Judi Dench as spymaster M, insists black or female stars should be given their own action films to showcase their talents, away from the Bond franchise.
‘I would like to see a great black actor inhabit a Bond-like persona,’ he said. ‘But not necessarily be in the same franchise."
Here comes the outrage in 3-2-1.....
