Did you fail to notice the diversity of the cast in the last 20 years of Bond films?

And if you mean the title character, you are presupposing that:

A. the quota existing means Bond won't be a white man (he absolutely will be in the first Amazon outing), and

B. Bond ceases to be Bond if he isn't white.

There's no reason for modern Bond stories to require a white Bond. He does have to be a guy, but don't see why race changes the story.
