Poll: Should there be a black bond?

[666thHeretic]

I don't think so. Some characters just wouldn't work if you change the race (a white Shaft, a Chinese Dirty Harry, a Jewish breakdancer, etc), and Bond has to be a classy white guy. Felix Leiter should stay black though, he adds a non-white character that doesn't generally die at the end of the movie.

Felix was the guy from the CIA in Casino Royale, for those desperately trying to figure out who I'm talking about.

Bond is a white man. It's kind of silly to make him black.


And, hate to break it to you, but race matters. And if you care to accuse me of racism, then I don't care. It does matter, simply because, consciously or indeed unconsciously, people do care about it. Oh, and it would come off as absurdly PC, and the day that PC triumphs over style is the day I vote for the BNP (I never thoughtI'd say that, even on the internet. Actually, I'd never vote BNP, because they're all inbred little-Englanders).

Good god, but the levels of guilt that whites carry around in Britain is utterly disproportionate. It's not as if we went all Barbarossa on Africa and commited genocide, and it's not as if what we did was outside of the norms of Africa at the time (ask a Zulu), and it's certainly not as if it was a bad thing that we coloniszed them.

And no, this is not irony, it's a fact.
