Sorry, my bad lifting of quotes:

It’s the fact that, aside from one or two characters, every Black person in Live And Let Die was on the side of evil.

There are plenty of other references to Bond's racism and sexism:

Craig himself admitted it in an interview in 2015. “Hopefully, my Bond is not as sexist and misogynistic. I am certainly not that person. But he is,”
Even director Cary Joji Fukanaga has acknowledged that the creepy come-ons of previous Bonds are no longer welcome. “Is it Thunderball or Goldfinger where basically Sean Connery’s character rapes a woman? That wouldn’t fly today” he told the Hollywood Reporter.

The villains were all foreign, and treated with racist connotations.
Koreans eating dogs and cats, Indians eating nothing but curry, etc.
The racism wasn't limited to Ian Fleming nor James Bond. Roger Moore made notes of racist events by the film crew.

LIVE AND LET DIE saw Roger Moore keep a set diary which recounted racist slurs by one of the producers on the James Bond set
The 007 Diaries: Filming Live and Let Die saw the star reveal some shocking behaviour by Bond producer Harry Saltzman.
...Roger claimed Saltzman had mistreated restaurant waiters and shouted “N*****!” on set at the props man,
The Live and Let Die shoot was taking place in 1970s Louisiana so Roger convinced Saltzman to call the props man something else. In the end, the producer settled on “Chalky”.

It wasn't just Roger Moore who recognised the racism in the films and on the sets.

every Black person in Live And Let Die was on the side of evil. It’s the fact that multiple West Indian and Caribbean religions and cultures were misused during this film.
such as the stereotyping of Black people, the co-opting and misappropriation of diasporic religions and cultures, and the ridiculous preoccupation with virginity and women’s sexuality.
Of course, it would’ve had major race issues in its original novel form – Fleming was not known for being the most open-minded about race – but the film’s reliance on the Blaxploitation genre and its stereotypes about Black people kicks it up a notch.
it’s framed as a world where black people aren’t on the side of good.

This one has plenty of potentially offensive racial and sexual politics for that matter – but with Bond the latter is kind of a given.

But James Bond is a fictional character, it's just so funny to see grown men idolize a quintessentially English, racist, homophobic misogynist.

Literally NOBODY gives a f***.

Sure I made a mistake with lifting one quote among the multiplicity of quotes and substantial evidence of James Bond and his creator, and some of the film crew being racist, and homophobic misogynists. but there's plenty more about for the idolizers of the fictional character to fawn over.

You seem pretty het up about it.
As did all the others idolizing a quintessential English, racist, homophobic misogynist.

I could quote all the comments in this thread of many arguing that James Bond was English, but I suspect the Mods wouldn't like me reproducing half of the total quotes in the thread.
I'm not making the argument that he was English. I'm making the argument that he was a fictional quintessential English hero, born out of the end of colonialism, who happened to be a racist homophobic misogynist.

quintessential

1. representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class.

You sound quite angry that your fantastical impression of such a fictional character has been debunked.

So why do you keep commenting?
I'm continuing to burst the bubble of a fictional quintessential English 'hero'.
It appears to have upset some.

He just takes sections of posts out of context and makes what ever he likes of them.

Doesn't seem to be able to accept that women carry babies and thinks maternity leave is the total answer. Obviously not heard of nursery fees or the fact that the highest earner of a couple is the one that will usually carry on working and these days that may be the female.

He very definitely doesn't appreciate why in terms of work women were at a disadvantage or why both halves of a couple now in many cases need to work if they can. From some employers perspective women still have a drawback especially childless young ones. That is unlikely to change completely. It can take several years in some fields for people to get to a stage where they contribute as much as they could. Older women with children have never really had much of problem finding employment in a number of fields.

He is also probably doesn't know why support such as this is about - complications should be noticeable but probably not by him.

AngleEyes hero.

Sorry to disappoint but he's my villain.

But thanks for the supporting material to upset those idolizing the woman-beating quintessential English hero.
Did you include the bit where he converted a 'lesbian' in Pussy Galore?

C'mon, they are rubbish at everything else, let them have Bond and TikTok.
