What I've always wondered is if the people like OP who think that this guy isn't white because he's HALF Greek (white) or Italians aren't white are people that are the menttioned ethnicity and don't want the negative stereotypes about white people to apply to them, they aren't white and hate white guys so need to figure out some way to justify them thinking a white guy is hot or if they're white and doing the my European country hates your European country thing and claiming that the other country's people aren't white as if it's some sort of insult.

All that being said. Both halves of him are different varieties of white.

WTF does "white" even mean to some of you morons? I know Arabs lighter than him with blue eyes and blonde hair, so are they white? Most people on this planet are not 100% anything, so if you're stupid enough to think merely looking "very white," makes you "really European," you're an imbecile.

For OP White = English.

Where I live, maybe two generations ago, those who spoke French would sometimes get yelled at : " Speak White !". meaning don't speak another language than English.

Keep in mind, that Irish people who had dark hair but white skin were called "Black Irish" and despised.

But people who are not regularly in contact with English people wouldn't know they use to say dumb things like that.. Besides, not all English in the last centuries were like that either.

It is isolationism and arrogant ignorance, just like when they claim that Protestants are the only Christians. That Catholics and Orthodox are not. Tsk ! I don't care for religion, but no.

Anyway, in this day of globalisation on the internet, non English Whites are flabergasted to discover on DL that their European country was not considered White by a handful of retards, even though their culture gave birth to Western civilisation and contributed largely to its development.

There is also the fact that some DLers take pleasure into generating stupefaction and annoyance for the non Americans/English. Too easy.

Now, for James Bond. The franchise is so tired. He/It had a good run . Why not try something new ?

by Anonymousreply 63March 9, 2020 3:17 PM

R62 And culturally, the history of the Arab world has nothing to do with Westerners, but some of them, with inferiority complexes like to invent fantasies about having European ancestry. But it's historically false. Turkish people too. Yet Turkey border countries : Iraq, Iran and Syria. They come from the Ottoman Empire, which has no connection with the foundations of Western culture and history. Western culture was founded by ancient Greece and Roman empire. Theo James is unquestionably white.

Theo James is hot but he seems boring as fuck. He lacks the edge and the danger Bond needs. I also think he's too pretty to be taken seriously as Bond, but then again I'd probably welcome him with open arms if he did a good job.

[quote] Now, for James Bond. The franchise is so tired. He/It had a good run . Why not try something new ?

The franchise has been a success at the box office and liked by the viewers AND the critics during the Daniel Craig era. It's not tired at all. Action films are always getting made, and there are plenty of people who want to see big budget spy films with characters they know well and love. And many people would rather watch a Bond film than some Steven Seagal abomination.

by Anonymousreply 95March 14, 2020 1:54 AM

Daniel Craig isn't someone you'd have attached to a movie to get it made before Bond (or since to be fair).

He was largely a good TV actor, not a Movie Star.

All that he's going to get after Bond is to be a featured supporting actor. Glad he earned a lot of money.

by Anonymousreply 96March 14, 2020 2:02 AM

R95, Steven Seagal ? Really ! ?

No, what I meant is that, while I enjoy James Bond, the plots tend to be sort of the same thing time and time again. It would be nice to have action/spy movie that are as refreshing as James Bond must have been in the early 60s.

by Anonymousreply 97March 23, 2020 1:50 AM

I'll add that you don't get a fresh take on a genre by having the same character and just change the color of his skin (or some other details) but by having a completely new character and kind of plots.

Still enjoy predictable James Bond, though.
