I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. Considering he's a time traveler, and if he went back in time...
I've wanted a black Doctor for awhile.

Moffat says the casting announcement rumours are false. Of course this is Moffat, and Rule One is Moffat lies, but still.
It's not the office of the President, for smurf's sake. "I can't wait until the day an African-American man is in the TARDIS! HOPE~~~"
Americans ruin everything. I've had this thought for a while but you've tipped me over the edge. Stop liking Doctor Who, all of you. I forbid it. The 1990's Doctor Who TV movie proved beyond a shadow of a doubt you just don't get it. Your nation is just the dorkiest country on the planet and you're not cool enough to hang out in our clubhouse. Now jog on.
Actually, I'm pretty against a female Doctor.It's not the office of the President, for smurf's sake. "I can't wait until the day an African-American man is in the TARDIS! HOPE~~~"

Unlike my fellow Americans, I don't have white guilt, and I don't think someone should get something because of the colour of their skin, or what is between their legs. I think it'd be interesting to have a black Doctor, though.
I honestly wouldn't mind a black or female doctor. Make him/her hispanic for all I care. Just so long as the change is explained well and they can act.
Is it bad that I re-watched the finale and spent the whole time thinking "I love Clara's outfit"
Why? If it's "oh, what if racism?" then it's not going to happen. They're not going to have him going back to civil war America and have people try to lynch him. It's Family Viewing and this is the bloody BBC. Did you ever see Robin Hood? It was one of the many family shows they created in the wake of Doctor Who 2.0's success. Medieval drama, loaded to the brim with black people who would not have remotely been there. Nobody commented on them, nobody acknowledged them as being different, they were just there.
If there's a black actor who can do the role justice, awesome, but he should be the doctor because he's awesome, not because he is black, and his race shouldn't even be commented on in the show - just as it isn't now. The choice of actor should never be a political statement about how we're a totally not racist and oh-so inclusive society. "I have both friends and Time Lords who are black so I can't be racist".
I have Time Lords who are black. x)
No, I see your point, and I mostly agree. That's stupid about that Robin Hood show, though.
All Robin Hood-related stuff is just trailing in the wake of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves anyway!Why? If it's "oh, what if racism?" then it's not going to happen.

"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Danny John-Jules for the next Doctor. It's P-P-P-Pancake Day!
I saw this on another page.
Idris Elba.
He can act, he's black, and he's British. smurf everyone.
Seriously though, I completely agree with Psychotic. Someone hold me.
