Isn't it more about representing him....So being white and British/English is more important than just being white. Being white and German isn't the same. I suppose it's all about degrees of separation from the fiction or reality.
This is the Bond-then vs. Bond-now distinction I'm trying to make; and I think you and I are on the same page here. If they made the next Bond as a period piece, Bond would be a white man if they wanted to be historically accurate.

So you think that because 4% of the British population are Black, James Bond should be Black?

I think they have been redefining Bond since Moore took over....He's already become this ethical person with a conscience...even in the newer books to an extent. We know it's about making the money back far more than any real attachment to authenticity. He represents masculinity to a certain extent....I like that....Not enough of that going about commercially anymore in my eyes. When I grew up we had Arnie wall to wall....'Total Recall'. 'What have you been feeding this nowadays?' ....I want more cheesy lines again! The PC stuff is so boring. Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Jul 2017 8.56pm)

Me thinks you might not live in the real world.
You did manage to avoid the point of the German pilot analogy, that there's a whole continent of white foreigners with whom you are very unlikely to identify and with whom you would have a very hard time communicating unless they happen to speak English. But white is white, right? And I agree that casting minority actors in minor roles is how the studios try to slide on the demographics of their movies. Edited by Ray in Houston (18 Jul 2017 9.10pm)

So when Black people call for more roles for Black actors or more Black role models on TV, that is racist is it? By your reckoning, it must be or else they would be happy to see only White faces.

I'd lose my s*** if the movie was s***, but Pierce Brosnan made a couple of stinkers, so it wouldn't necessarily be the fault of the actor or an unheard of occurrence in the Bond series.
