"I was like "What the hell is going on?" and they were like "James Bond is cannot be played by Idris Elba because Idris Elba is a black man and James Bond is white!" I was like "Well, actually, James Bond is a FICTIONAL character and so he can be played by anyone because it is FICTION!" and they were like "Well, when you think about it, James Bond was based on a real man who was white and so he should be played by a real white man!" And I'm like "Well, that just doesn't make sense 'cause, if you think about it, Jesus was technically a black man but he gets played by a white man, so I don't know what your point is, 'cause that's never stopped me from receiving my blessings, I don't know what you're going on about!""
