Fandom has moaned about plenty of things over the years, and
demanded many many things, in a variety of forms, but the
request for a female/black Doctor was never top of anyone's list.
It was something the producers decided to do because they wanted
to do... they wanted to be seen to be trendy. Either that or the
BBC told them to do it, as inclusivity is the 'in' thing in
their politically correct world.
Either way, the producers/writers should have just continued to
write good Doctor Who stories and leave the virtue signalling at
the door.
What if Joanne Lumley were the Doctor sometimes in the 1980s?

The real* Outpost Gallifrey is gone. People moved over to
Gallifrey Base when that closed around fifteen years ago.
The newer 'Outpost Gallifrey' site isn't connected to the
original GallifreyOne site or Gallifrey Base.
I won't cast aspersions on other online Doctor Who communities -

I do. Back around 2008-10, many people on Outpost Gallifrey
were calling for a black Doctor. There was a perpetual
argument between those who wanted that and those who didn't.
I can't recall too much of that debate. Although come to think of
it, I do recall some sort of call for Patterson Joseph to be the
"next Doctor" once upon a time, but I don't think that was ever
a major debate.
I'm sure the threads about the Morbius 'Doctors' or UNIT dating
went on for much longer!
There were fewer who wanted a woman Doctor, though. Those
issues get lumped together a lot, but they're not the same.
Similar though, as it's all to appease a vocal political correct
minority that seem to think they are entitled to representation
when it comes to being "The Doctor". But, had the actual stories
been as good as we had in the Pertwee/Tom Baker era of the show
with the female or black Doctor that we did get, I don't think I
would have minded at the end of the day. Tokenism itself doesn't
sell a story, it still needs to be enjoyable and entertaining.

Didn't 'The Doctor' suggest, some time ago, HERE, that Idris Elba was
going to be, or should be, the next Doctor??

The Doctor is a white British heterosexual male character
The Doctor *WAS* PORTRAYED BY a white British heterosexual male
character ... until the T.V. character wasn't.
and always must be a white British heterosexual male character.
WHY must it always be?? Will it break some Universal Law or other if
the Sex of a PREVIOUSLY MALE T.V. Character changes??
Yep, the "laws" of common sense and intelligence ... but those laws
disappeared long ago thanks to the Politically Correct / Equality
morons. :-(
No. Those laws disappeared long ago .... when William Hartnell
"regenerated" into Patrick Troughton.

I was resistant to the latter until I saw Patterson Joseph in
"Neverwhere" and I immediately thought he'd make a great Doctor.
Apparently he was in the frame for a while but it never happened,
Other actors of a similar background who might have worked out IMHO:
David Ajala (stole every scene from the leads in both "Supergirl" and
"STD")
Abubakar Salim (Father in "Raised by Wolves" able to go from serious
to comedic and back in an instant)
Colin Salmon (previous DW guest star, currently out to pasture on
EastEnders)
David Harewood (Martian Manhunter on "Supergirl")
However RTD would probably have written them as drippy as he did Gatwa
who I've been assured is a good actor elsewhere.
Never cared for the Gallifreyan gender swapping introduced in NuWho.
If they wanted to enable a female Doctor type, they should have just
brought Romana back from e Space and given her her own show.

She did eventually make it into the (definitively) non-canon "The
Curse of Fatal Death" sketch in the mid-90s.
Which reminds me of Lenny Henry's sketch as the Doctor in which he
wore a brown leather raincoat over a Ruper Bear outfit, which managed
to somehow look better than then-Doctor Colin Baker's costume AND most
of the outfits subsequently flaunted by Gatwa.

Wokery, always, always results in bad writing. The character of the
Doctor is and can only be a white, British, male, heterosexual
character. There nothing wrong with that since that is what the majority
of the viewers are too. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a sexist, a
racists, and a bigot. Any other kind of depiction is impossible to write >well because people expect a mentor and authority figure in British
culture and society which is what all the stories are based on to be
white, British, male, and heterosexual. There is no way the audience can >suspend their disbelief otherwise and there is no way to provided a >believably rational explanation otherwise without ruining the story.
We've seen what wokery is. It disgusting, divisive, and debased bigotry >historically founded on the same principles as Nazism as can be deduced
from reading George Orwell's 1984 including the Appendix which shows how >Political Correctness was used by Ingsoc, the Nazi based English

There is no representation in this disgraceful ideology. Instead it
takes representation away and gives it to others who are misrepresented
to create a false narrative. Just look at the racist director
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey where not one single Greek actor was
cast to play any of the prominent roles in a work based on Greek
historical literature and Greeks told to identify with a sub-Saharan
African from Kenya played by an actress who is an Afrocentrist racist
bigot who never read the Odyssey before she was cast, instead of someone >that looks like them. Everyone knows Helen of Troy was not black so stop >treating them as complete idiots.

the correct people could be entirely different to who Amazon /
MGM feel are the correct people. (In the case of James Bond.)
No production company can keep EVERYONE happy.

They can keep as many people happy as possible by simply not making
idiotic changes to the existing established facts of the franchise just
to appease the whims of Politically Correct whiners or whater silly
idea the new moroon in charge comes up with. They can also use some
common sense and intellgence and NOT create so-called "reboots" that
are a completely different product hiding behind the original's good
name.
