I get so tired of people who get on the internet and use sarcasm and passive aggressive tactics then try and pass it off as superior intelligence.

Which isn't something I did, so no real reason to bring it up.

So, it seems like you don't actually have a reason.

Or you do have a reason... but you don't want to say what it is. Because you're ashamed of it?

How about this then. Idris Elba is 50 years old. I don't want an old Bond. Is that okay, or is that ageism? Am.I an ageist now?

I dunno. You couldn't come up with a reason why you think Bond must be white. Do you have a reason why he must be young?

I mean, you could argue that only a young man could be fit enough to plausibly play a guy who runs around beating people up for a living. If that's your point then I'd say that I think you're wrong, and you are indeed being ageist in assuming that only young guys can do that.

Or do you have some other reason why Bond would have to be young? Do feel free to give it. Or just have another little sulk, if you prefer.

I don't care about the color of an actor's skin. What I'm saying is, I want Hollywood to get creative and develop new franchises, and new roles specifically for Black actors. That way, you aren't recasting traditional white roles with black actors just because.

If you don't want traditionally white roles recast with black actors just because, then you actually do care about the colour of an actor's skin. You should stop saying you don't.
