    What??? James Bond isnt real???? I didnt know ..... Hmm you get the jist of what Im saying lad. When characters are written, they are done so with a certain look and feel. If a well known fictional Black character suddenly turned up white Id be questioning that too. Get over yourself.

    I'd like to see a middle eastern type play Jesus. That will cause a stir or two

    To answer your pre edited point .. I didnt know who the Hermione character was so googled it and a white girl appeared. Looke like that tasty little bird Emma Watson? .. I can see why people would find it weird if that character suddenly turned black. As I said earlier, if I was used to a well known character being played by a black person Id be slightly unnerved if they showed up white. Thats not being racist. (It is to left wing nutjobs of course but thats their thing)

    As for Jesus, Id be delighted to see a middle eastern play that part. He was middle eastern no?

    That's just banter, I think. She can say whatever she wants *after* she's booked all the profits.

    I think most of the religious right would be up in arms. How many people on the States would be up in arms?

    This could well be the most boring article ever written.

    Imagine a product or commodity being owned by its owners and the owners wanting to do what they want with it

    Anything else would be 'Communist'

    But different than the day before'
