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.

No you don’t, but when Fleming wrote Bond’s character, he was referring to a specific, accepted Scots background. Bond’s background is important to the man he is.

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. . .

“Ever been to Scotland? Guess what. Some black people live there. And they have Scottish accents.”

The Romans had this one figured out. There were Romans, and there were Roman citizens all over the world. The Apostle Paul said he was a citizen of Rome, not a Roman. I once attended a church where they had all the recent sworn in immigrants stand in front of the congregation, and the minister proudly called them “new Americans.” Americans they certainly were not; they were American citizens.

I have been to Scotland and am in fact part Scottish, and you have proven yourself to be an idiot on this issue. James Bond should be White like 99% of all Scots are.
