Well yeah, publicity headshots are of course airbrushed to heck, in candid photos he looks more his age judging an actor/ess by his or her headshot is like judging a book by its cover.

Now we have a black man. Give me strength. They might as well just cancel it now. The BBC is just trying too hard

Meh. It's the BBC in "The Current Year", it was never gonna be a white man. Either roll with it or go without.

Anyway, waaaay back when the Second Doctor was being forced by the Time Lords to regenerate, they initially gave him an array of photos as to what he'd look like. One or two of them were obviously non-white. The Doctor's skin colour isn't important.
