I think it's interesting that he immediately tried to protect himself from calls of racism. Not the Scottish angle; that doesn't seem to matter to him. Daniel Craig isn't Scottish. He doesn't use a Scottish accent in the films. Rush didn't suddenly get all upset when Craig was quintessentially English as Bond, or when Pierce Brosnan was. If he was coming at this as a fanboy, I'd get it, but he's not. He doesn't really care about the Scottish thing; he cares about the white thing.

I don't care much for Rush and I don't know about all of the accent stuff, but am I racist for wanting Batman, Superman, James Bond, etc. to be reflective of their source material or white?
I know 007 is just a code name.

Will Bond's son, James Suzuki Bond, now have to take on afro/asian characteristics as well? I don't believe Rush is anything more than someone who views the Bond character in a particular way, identifies with the character and wants it preserved. Nothing sinister associated with his comments.
