So it's been a topic discussed in a secret location and I had been instructed to open this poll.
I am, of course, referring to The Doctor in the most successful sci-fi show of all-time, Doctor Who. Through its half-decade-long history, The Doctor has always been a white British male.
Which ethnicities can you accept The Doctor to be?
British tv show made for the British market by British people. Why should it be anything else than what the show runners want it to be, which is overwhelmingly a White British Male?
Making the show go through hoops would feel more like a box ticking exercise than anything else.

Actually technically it's not sci-fi And I'm pretty sure it's not the most successful either. I couldn't find any evidence suggesting so. I'd guess that's Star Trek or the X-Files.

I don't mind, nor care (personally, I don't think it's a problem - I'll accept any). As long it's good acting, and there is also a good script I'm happy..
Why are religions listed? The Doctor isn't religious. Why would he regenerate into someone who was?
Either way the Doctor, being a Time Lord sorta transcends race. I don't think it matters really as long as the actor was good enough. If the the Doctor's race did suddenly change I think all the in side jokes would be fantastic.
