My opinion is very easy for me to understand.

I know more about Bond than you do back story and all. I saw the play on live TV Casino Royale starring Barry nelson an american.

I am not locked into the canon. If you want let him be a nephew. i really don’t care. I named two actors i would like to see in the role. That’s my opinion.

One’s own opinion is always very easy for one to understand. That doesn’t make it dispositive. I have read every James Bond book out there. I have also seen every movie. I am not quite sure how referencing a Norwegian actor playing James Bond has any relevance whatsoever to discussing whether a black person should play the role. There is no problem with a “White, American actor” portraying a “white, english” character unless the actor cannot pull off the accent.

I like Idris Elba and enjoy his acting. I would like to see him in just about anything including a OO treatment where his not James Bond. The world is more than tired of the shoehorning of minorities into white roles while being lectured about the sanctity of black/color roles being forever off limits to whites. I don’t disagree with your appreciation of Eldra as an actor but I think your desire to see him as Bond perpetuates a problem that needs to go away and not be perpetuated.
