I disagree. For one, you are assuming that there are no other actors of equal skill to play the role, which I'm not sure is the case.
And the type of devil's advocacy you're engaging in right now discounts the possibility that the producers just think that Idris Elba is a good choice to play Bond regardless of race.

Would you support the same position if the most qualified actor to play Shaft was a white guy?
Not really a valid comparison or analogy. The whole character or "ethos" of the Shaft character was highly dependent on being black.
ETA: Just saw Baloo's post. As usual, he makes sense.

I know people will have their sides in this discussion. It's to be expected.
I just don't like change to what has historically been portrayed a certain way in previous source material.
I had the same objections to the changes to the Fantastic Four, Game of Thrones, casting choices in Gods and Kings, etc.
It's my personal opinion.
