Daniel Craig is a killer 007 though. I’ll miss him.I like Elba. But Bond is an Englishman. People flip when whites are cast in roles for movies from countries like Japan. That isnt racist, but stating that Bond should say English (white) is some how racist? Does anyone see how completely backwards that thinking is?If a white was born in Japan, he cant call him self Japanese. Like wise a none white born in a European country cant really call themselves English/German/Dutch. It goes both ways kids. Did you see the list of non English 007s? They play an Englishman on screen but they don’t have to be English to pull that off. And I’m sorry but if you’re born and raised in Japan then you’re Japanese regardless of your skin color.If people want to get all textualist, he isn’t actually English. In the books he is clearly of Scottish-Swiss ancestry, and I have never met a Scot who wouldn’t be pissed if you called him English. What Bond is is British, and Idris Elba seems like he is pretty damn British to me.Additionally, if people have to harp on the fact he is black, I think that actually is a great addition to the character. Bond is supposed to be an outsider. To quote from (the film) Casino Royale:All right… by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn’t come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else’s charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you’re first thought about me ran to “orphan,” that’s what I’d say you are. The views of bigots like Roger Moore illustrate why a black Bond would be a great fit for the character. -- source link
