I love Idris Elba but for me personally, casting any black actor in the role of Bond is absolute stupidity and 'change for change's sake'.
I detest all those ridiculous 'classical' paintings by early artists which depict Jesus as a Ginger haired white man for the same reason.
Should Keanu Reeves have played 'Shaft'? Or Robert Redford played Virgil Tibbs in 'The Heat of The Night'? How ridiculous would it have been for Daniel Radcliffe to have played Martin Luther King instead of David Oyelowo in 'Selma'?

I have no issue wth Keanu Reeves playing Shaft but Redford could never have played Virgil Tibbs cuz there was a racist element to the film. I dont see why a characters ethnicity cant change.
