  • I’d be happy with a suitable unknown, or lower profile actor.

  • It isn’t a rasist term at all. Given that my wife and half my family is Black, I know this as a fact. It’s a commonly used term to describe African hair type. And the video is amusing and makes some light hearted valid points.

  • Your entitled to your opinion @mtm. I think Bond should always remain white (based on Fleming and franchise history/ legacy), you don’t. The FACT is that both fleming and the films do describe Bond’s ethnicity. That’s not my opinion, it’s fact. …
