The media and entertainment industries have been accused of having a tokenistic approach to casting, but what does it actually mean to be more representative and how can we do better to get it right?

There is no need for a black bond, there are other characters that black actors can play.

If you want a black 007, cool, just don't call him James Bond. He should be either Jamal Bhatti or Jerome Bundu.

Since James Bond is a fictional character, he can be any race that you want him to be. How about this. Let's start off with a James Bond of Indian decent then work our way to a black man.
