Been to Scotland many times myself, over decades. Few black people, very few, and when James Bond made his entry into the world, there were very, very, very few black Scots and Brit intelligence agents would not have employed someone other than a “Bond” character (W/M).

Instead of trying to co-opt an established character for PC racial reasons, and thereby alienate legions of fans who will see it for what it is, why not invent a black James Bond-type for his (her?) own character and story.

And by the way, why not have James Bond become Jane Bond, a promiscuous Scottish female as 007. To object to this shift in character would be sexist and we don’t want to be accused of that.

Heck, might as well make Jane Bond. . .Jameeka Jones, a black female. Covering all the PC bases. . .

"Most researchers and biographers conclude that he (Bond) was born either in 1917, 1920, 1921, or 1924."

If they wanted to be completely correct to Fleming, they'd need to find a white Scottish actor who is age 90 plus....

When “Bond made his entry into the world”, there were no computers, no cell phones, none of the doo dads that the modern day Bond employs. Should we rid the Bond franchise of those as well?
