James Bond novels to be reissued with racial references removed

The changes to the spy novels include the removal of the N-word and omitting references to the ethnicity of minor characters

The Guardian

@jeffjarvis sure, remove the racism, but the character is still an utter nutter steeped in a type of masculinity that belongs atop the rubbish heap of history, working as a *government officer* with zero accountability in what can quite frankly only be called idiotic narrative arcs.

You can remove racism from the books, but I doubt you’ll be able to make them relevant even if you put A$ap Rocky and Nicki Minaj in the lead roles in the movies.

Just bury the godforsaken franchise por favor.

@jeffjarvis Well, we now know what Tucker Carlson will be raging about this week...
@jeffjarvis What's left? Cocktail recipes and descriptions of suits and guns?
@jeffjarvis That smoke you see off in the distance is right-wing heads spinning so fast their spines are smoking.
