I wouldn't have much of a problem with a black Bond, simply because there's been varying Bond's already, some are Irish, Scottish, British, Australian different hair color, totally different physical looks. It depends on the actor too, Idris Elba as Bond I would have no problem with.

It depends too how much the ethnicity of the character is relevant to the character as well ... like the Prince of Persia ... not looking Persian is kind of problematic, lol.

I haven't watched many Bond movies, but I always took the concept of Bond being more alias than person.  Like, agent 007 is James Bond and that is it.  If that agent dies, another rises to take his place.  If it were a female it would probably just be changed to Jane Bond but still be 007.

Is there anything in the movie continuity that debunks that?

Also, random factoid, when I worked at a Chinese food restaurant when someone wanted chicken fingers the order went through to the kitchen as 007.

Yes. The string of James Bond movies featuring Daniel Craig debunks that. The character who Daniel Craig plays is actually named "James Bond". They go the old Bond family estate named  in "Skyfall" and you on the estate you see a whole lot of pictures and memorbilia of James Bond's white family.

James Bond is a white guy whose family is from Scotland. This has been firmly established.
