Pretty sure they already set up in continuity that 007 and James Bond are both code names taken on. Like if you are given tbe 007 you are also given the name of Bond.
I used to think they were code names, but Goldeneye makes it clear that they are not. 006's name, Alec Trevelyan, is his real name and also the name he uses as an agent before going MIA.

But in a way I agree with you, they have been changing a lot of traditionally white characters into coloured people recently for no other reason than to have a coloured person and it is getting annoying. Also it is extremely hypocritical, imagine if they did the reverse to a traditionally black character? I mean people already get fucking pissed when they white wash asian remakes, and I mean white washing in thkse cases actually makes sense, you are adapting the product for a western audience so I mean obviously.
People are just so annoying and stupid.
I agree. And yeah, that's why I used Blade and John Shaft as examples. They should always be black... it would piss me off if they suddenly picked a white actor to portray these characters. Imagine a new A-Team movie with a white B. A. Baracus... fuck that.
