[Locke]

The irony is you make the Doctor black or a woman, and they will outcry that you have sold out, using something like gender or skin colour to appear falsely progressive or whatever. You don't do it and you get an outcry of racism, sexism or whatever.

The fact of the matter is, if the Doctor did one day turn out to be black or a woman, I'd be okay with it if they just treat it the same as any other Doctor and don't introduce them as 'the first black Doctor/the first female Doctor', that shouldn't be what it is about.

Still yay Capaldi got it!
