I'm just bemused that casting a black man as Bond is in any way controversial.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, Skyfall would kind of make it awkward, as it establishes that Bond's paternal ancestors were from an old Scottish (or at least British) family, and non-white people settling in Great Britain is a recent thing. He could at the very best be mixed-race with his mother being not-white.

Of course, this is canon for Daniel Craig's run as James Bond. They could always retcon it for the next James Bond. I do not personally believe they will do so. I think they're trying to establish a little continuity between each new movie, and will try their best not to invalidate what happened in the Craig movies.

non-white people have been here for at least a thousand years. they came with the romans and some never left.

OMG google "medieval POC" already.

it's just not talked about. you know Beethoven was part-black right?

[(Anonymous)]

That's only a theory.

"This theory, however, is not based on genealogical studies of Beethoven’s past, which are available to the public. Rather, it is based on the assumption that one of Beethoven’s ancestors had a child out of wedlock. Another part of this theory is that Beethoven was given the nickname “Spaniard” as a child because he had a dark complexion by European standards. However, it is important to note that no one called Beethoven black or a moor during his lifetime, and the Viennese were keenly aware both of Moors and of mulattos, such as George Bridgetower, the famous violinist who collaborated with Beethoven. "

Only to people who seem to have a huuuuuuuuge problem with Bond being anybody but a white guy. Not for racist reasons, though! For totally legit... uh, other reasons that have nothing to do with race! I swear!

Personally, I don't give a shit as I'm not a fan of the movies in general and will be unlikely to watch them no matter who is cast.
