Maybe you skimmed too quickly. Brocolli is a woman - that’s made abundantly clear throughout the article - and she also is adamant about maintaining the gender of the character. It appears that race (and sexual orientation) is not a key component of Bond for the family, and I agree with them. Why would it? I think a gay black British man would do very well. The original Bond, both in the books and the older movies, despite the misogyny apparent of the time, also broke a lot of stereotypes for sex and licentiousness. Pushing those boundaries has been key to Bond for a long time. Why not a gay black man then, to hold to the same spirit.
