Sorry, but Rush is wrong on this one. James Bond is a fictional character.

Did you not read the part about Ian Flemings character being a Scot? The fictional character Shaft being a black man if played by Neil Patrick Harris is just as ludicrous. Why you cannot see that logic escapes me.

Ever been to Scotland? Guess what. Some black people live there. And they have Scottish accents. And if their parents lived there, and their parents parents lived their, are they not Scottish? Do you have to be white to be Scottish?

Rush is right 99.7% of the time. On this he is wrong. And sounds stupid.

“Did you not read the part about Ian Flemings character being a Scot?”

Actually, he’s only half-Scottish. His mother was Swiss. ;)

But still, perhaps you are unaware that there are black people in Scotland. Not a lot, admittedly, but there are some. And Bond himself is usually written as more a English Brit than a Scottish one. “For England, James!/For England, Alec” and “I need you, James!/So does England!” spring to mind.

As a fan of the book and film series going back to Connery, I wouldn’t mind him at all. Rush likes to say outrageous things to get attention and boost ratings.
