I can see saying that people should consider Asian actors as well as black actors, but I don't see how you get to the point of saying that Bond shouldn't be black and definitely should be Asian. Like, I get that you would prefer an Asian Bond, but that doesn't mean a black Bond is wrong.

Also in general my feeling on this stuff is that I would be totally cool with any of those casting decisions, but I would also be fine with them casting another white dude. Because that's who the character has been, but also because it's really weird to treat this one specific thing as the only means to the end of increasing diversity. That's where I've always felt kind of weird about the Doctor Who genderswap conversation. Casting a female Doctor would be great. But there's this undercurrent of, like, "WHAT THE FUCK, WHY ISN'T THE DOCTOR ALREADY A WOMAN, HOW THE FUCK DO THEY DARE DO THIS IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THE DOCTOR MUST BE A WOMAN" going on and I'm just kind of baffled by it.

Anyway there's way too many words about a dumb internet thing for you

Agreed. I personally can't see a female James Bond but I can go with non-white Bonds. Gay Bond would be a (fun) stretch however.

I could rock transmale Bond. Or just, when we get a transmale actor who has the gravitas, have a transmale actor in the role and not say anything about it.

That said, a Black bond is easier for one major reason: Black Bond can more easily have the surname Bond. An Asian Bond would have people asking how he got the name and answering that would mean some busywork with the backstory. But Skyfall changed a lot of stuff so...
