Old man yells at cloud

Today, it only took my dad 10 minutes after I'd arrived at my parents' house for him to say that the actor scheduled to be the new Doctor Who couldn't be Doctor Who because "He's black!" I did try pointing out that Doctor Who is an alien with two hearts but… I gave up after that. Merry Christmas, yeah. FML

As an American Whovoan, I say Who gives a crap. After Patrick Troughton (my least favorite) they could and pretty much did have anybody. I'd love to see young Cameron Chapman as the next Doctor. But I don't get a vote there. Basically, you can't make everyone happy and the choice here was for an actor (a good one imho), but an actor nonetheless. It's all ..... a.... tv...TV.... show.

Did he have a conniption when there was a female doctor?

So a woman can play a previous doctor, but not a black man? Yeah, your dad's got some ****** up deep-seated racism to deal with if he's getting this pissy over a fictional alien.

I don't think that this FML is long enough for her to say whether or not her dad had a problem with the female doctor who. You're making a wild assumption to come to a racist conclusion. He probably did have a problem with the female doctor who.

Dude, Ncuti Gatwa has hit it out of the park as 15. And the Doctor still dances!
