It's fiction, if he can pull it off and it entertains, why should it matter.
Every Bond is a very different character and the fiction has gone well beyond the mental picture of the character that is supposed to be Fleming himself. They have probably run out of ideas to develop a new character. The only tradition that is sacred is the tradition of making money, not being PC.
Idris was great in the Wire---dont see him as a James Bond type --more of a herbert really.
Shaw-shank Redemption a great film. In Stephen Kings book "Red" is a red haired Irishman.In the film it was played by Morgan Freeman.Inspired casting that. Huge amount of narration in the film and Freeman's voice is spellbinding. Of course he can act as well.
James Bond to me is a white Englishman---i ignore the fact that he might be a Jock and has been played by a Jock,Paddy,Aussie

I guess if you ignore facts and reality it's easy to believe anything you like !
It's a shame people still see black or white and not just man. I suppose this'll never change.
Perhaps when a significant portion of their community can get more than 4 of them together without stabbing each other to death, we will !
Do you mean if there are more than four black people together they will start stabbing each other to death? I am confused as to what you are trying to say.

I simply can't believe anyone is kicking up about this. It's the quality of actor that matters.
Want an example?
Three words:
Ben.
Kingsley.
Gandhi.
