Could there ever be an instance not motivated by politics where a black actor portrayed a white character? Not everything everyone does is virtue signaling or politically motivated, but we have somehow arrived at a place culturally where the perception is that a huge fraction of the population is making decisions disingenuously. It's such a coarse and dismissive heuristic.

- mpalmer 2y agoLiterally all that happened was they gave a black woman the 007 designation. They didn't announce her as the new "Bond", and she is not confirmed to continue the character. She didn't even have that designation at the end of the movie. It's literally a number. How eager are you to find things to be mad at?
