God this is so fucking rich after all of the defensive pearl clutching and monocle dropping in the Bond thread over the possibility that someone in jolly ole England just might be a racist dipshit.
The series havs been both nominated and won a BETT award for the category of ‘best learning game’ in Europe.
BETT being British Educational Training and Technology.
Alright man, I'll have one last go. Let's see if I can break it down.
England is full of racists. Lots of them. Look up Combat 18, The National Front, The BNP, The EDL, UKIP, England / Britain First or whatever they're called. All far right groups, many still active today. England also has issues with institutional racism that see minorities stopped, arrested, and convicted disproportionately. OK? You still with me?
Right. That all said, the term 'street' does not carry the same implications here, and the author is not (on the face of it) a racist dipshit. He named a better black Bond, and has the best black Bond reading his audiobook. What has happened is that you have misconstrued his words because they carry a different subtext in your culture.
Now, I cannot explain it any clearer than that. It's sadly clear that a shitload of people didn't 'get it' yesterday, so I'm interested in seeing if I can help you personally 'get it' today. Can you even begin to see where I'm coming from on this, or are we still at the 'racist author won't have a black Bond' phase?
