Between the Ian Fleming and John Gardner books, James Bond has been fleshed out to be a Scotsman born to a Scottish lord and a Swiss model. About as white as it gets. You can have a non-white James Bond-type character, but that character will not be named James Bond.
Lots of non-British actors have been considered for the role of Bond over the years (e.g. Steve McQueen and Paul Newman) and, as everyone knows, the Australian actor George Lazenby played him in OHMSS. But do you have anything against another non-British actor playing Bond again in the future?
In a fictional obituary, purportedly published in The Times, Bond's parents were given as Andrew Bond, from the village of Glencoe, Scotland, and Monique Delacroix, from the canton of Vaud, Switzerland.
