Your logic (shockingly) is absurd. A group of slaves would obviously be black. Of course, they could have been owned by a black man. That was known to happen.
Given that James Bond is Scottish, there is nothing to suggest he must be white. There are black Scots. The Bond franchise has been done to death. Whats wrong wish shaking it up a bit? He’s a FICTIONAL character. The poutage on this topic is ridiculous.
Character biography.
That simple.
If we’re going to hear fictional characters can be any race then why shouldn’t fictional slaves on a plantation be white?
the problem is if you stray to far from the original authors concept for the character it becomes something else
There were some American Indian slaves in Louisiana....
“A group of slaves would obviously be black.”
Barbary Pirates mean anything to you. . .white slavery. . .
Oh and forgot:
“The Bond franchise has been done to death. Whats wrong wish shaking it up a bit? “
And what about making Bond homosexual?
Any change to the original character is to destroy the man “men want to be and women want to be with.”
Actually in Europe there were likely as many Caucasians slaved from the coast lands around that continent from the 16th through 18th century to North Africa around the time when slaves were imported in the US; it just is one of those subjects never spoken of. The numbers were high because the average life span was 3 years due to the brutality of the conditions and no attempt was made to keep them alive and there are scarce records kept in those places. When reading Joan Peter’s From Time Immemorial most of the documents regarding Jewish persecution and slaughter came from Western diplomatic activity in those areas in the 19th century. Keep in mind 95 percent of slaves from Africa went to S. America and the Caribbean.
Robert C. Davis documents 1.25 million to 1.5 million Europeans slaved mostly from Italy during 1500 to 1800.
