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.

No. It's being a fan of the source material.

If Rush had gotten pissed and made a big deal about it the moment Bond was no longer Scottish, I'd think nothing of this. He'd just be a purist fan. But he's not; he's just now upset because Elba might be Bond.

Extremely racist. All movies should have only black actors.

I don't know about racist but your "wanting Batman Superman James Bond to be...OR WHITE" statement does indicate something.

For example of all the changes the movies make to batman superman and every other comic book, novel adaptation, and TV show remake why is skin color the one stoking the fire.

Kinda yeah. You're valuing skin color over who the best actor available would be.
