Ncuti Gatwa, the first Black Doctor Who, was extremely outspoken in a new interview.

Gatwa is an LGBTQ Rwandan immigrant to the U.K. and made his comments to the magazine Attitude for its May/June issue.

Asked about backlash on his assuming the role of Doctor Who, he said that it’s all part of a shift. “We do see a shift happening in casting, in positions of power and in the status quo. I mean, not a fast shift, things could tip over the other way a little bit quicker. But you see people kind of malfunctioning because things are changing.”

Ncuti talked of his battle for acceptance. “There’s so much White mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that] anyway. So, I’m slowly training myself out of that and being like, ‘No sh–. You deserve love just for existing.’”

Gatwa was asked about the U.K.’s struggle with gender diversity and trans identities.

"Everything trickles down from the top, and when you see politicians openly attacking marginalized communities, when you see our politicians openly attacking trans people, it makes it OK for everyone else,” Gatwa said. “And it is scary to see that we’ve got to a point where it is fine to attack vulnerable people because that’s essentially what’s happening. People who are the most vulnerable, the most disenfranchised, most disconnected from everyone else are being told that they are the threats.”

He added, “It’s sick because it’s a hiding away of your own ineptitude. You’re going to put the blame on immigrants, Black and Brown people, trans people, queer people, to hide the fact that you are not doing anything for people? It’s easier to just create discord amongst people. It’s divide and conquer, isn’t it?”

Gatwa said that “We’ve got to keep pushing for more. Lots and lots and lots and lots more diversity, lots more inclusion on our screen. Lots and lots and lots of it for all you male gamons out there!”

In U.K. slang, the term “gamon” refers to the color of a person’s flushed face when expressing their strong opinions, as compared to the type of pork of the same name.

Wait, they're still making Doctor Who? And they're doubling down on diversity hires after the Thirteenth Doctor? At least Whittaker was a decent actress burdened by terrible writing and impossible expectations; this guy seems like an incompetent loser.

 

[JosephStalin]

Sure makes me glad I have never watched a minute of that show. Fuck that show and fuck him.

>black dr. who
Dr. Who rides off teenagers and womanchildren who want to fuck whichever british sex icon they have as The Doctor for it's success. I'm going to take a wild guess and say "Rwandan Sexyman" won't be able to carry the same prestige as Benedict Cumberbatch

Didn't this happen with some movie recently? I'm getting deja vu. Amazing that he's accusing those evil white people of what progressivists do - divide and conquer while highlighting the evil majority. To be honest though - he's just repeating the message of what his handler's tell him, they're probably just sending the response to the publishers.

Doctor Who is crap now. Part of it is the adherence to globalist and progressivist ideology and of course the writing's shit innit.

yeah doctor who is mediocre
wait, what?

Yeah, and that old DW spoof from the 1980s was more funny.

All we need to completely destroy what's left of British Media history is maybe a black Sherlock Holmes and Monty Blackyon.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

Dude got handed like the well known show because he was Black and Bi. He’s litterally the definition of celebrating Black Mediocrity.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

If blacks can't compete with White mediocrity, the problem is with blacks.

 

[Foxxo]

He's just playing lip-service to that Indian or Pakistani Scot who said that every unpublicized government job was held by a white person.

 

[Ravana]

White mediocrity is still better than black at its best

 

[Cat tit bingo]

Nigga you're literally the gayest man I've ever seen. He's literally only been in 10 roles in 10 years and got chosen for a beloved show for checking the sucking cock and being a nigger boxes. Also Ncuti isn't a fucking name, I'm sorry your mom tried to be unique and named you using her alphabet soup but you will forever be know as "that black faggot"

 

[Foxxo]

Ncuti also said he wanted to be able to defeat an enemy by twerking some day.

 

[Outer Space Traveller]

Doctor? Doctor Who?
What an AIDS riddled nigger. HIs parents came from Rwanda and he likes to kick others while they are down. I'm sure this sodomite wouldn't dare to raise a finger if the Saxon were awake.

 

[Tism the Return II]

Doctor Who sucks black or white, read another book and watch another show you britcucks.

 

[MadStan]

Could he get into the Tardis and you know, like piss off to another dimension?

 

[Hitman One]

I'm sorry but as I recall Doctor Who ended just after Peter Capaldi's 11th Doctor stepped out of the snow and into his TARDIS during a Christmas Special. Anything after that must be deranged fanfiction.

I mean, not in the US.

Consider any of the Madea films.

I think this is the behavior/rhetoric/passive aggressive disdain that is rewarded by the establishment, that instills hatred towards Africans from White Nationalists/ even normal right wing Whites than criminality and riots.

It's funny that it's always them who are at the center of the diversity effort, when in the UK, Asians make up more than double their numbers, same story in the US with Hispanics.

What is this fucking retard on about? The prime minister is Indian, the government is stacked with minorities and women, the Scottish prime minister is Pakistani, he has taken one of the (previously) most recognisable British TV roles after a retard woman had it.

I was trying to come up with a joke response to make fun of bongs, but its really hard to satirize them when this is what reality looks like.
