The 12th incarnation of Doctor Who might just regenerate into someone who’s Asian, black, or a woman. The Time Lord’s an alien, after all.
LONDON — Peter Capaldi, the 12th Time Lord, says he should not be regenerated into another white man: it is time to diversify the doctor.

If you read Peter Capaldi's words, he actually never says that "he should not be regenerated into a white man" at all, that is just a spin put on it by the reporting organisation, and yall fell for it.
So it doers not scream "fake" liberalism, it merely traps you into wanting you to accuse Capaldi or the Beeb of that by playing to your own prejudices.

I don't think they should make a special effort to hunt down a minority, or a female, but if one auditions for the role, and they are well capable of playing the doctor. Why not? I don't see any issues with having a female, black or asian doctor.

This is stupid, they already made the Master a woman, why would they do the same thing with the Doctor?
It's political correctness gone mad lmao.

You don't seem to understand that from your vid (which is pretty quiet on the sound level, just a heads up), as you are criticising it on the basis that a minority doctor will happen and the reasons why, and not for a report that is just plain misinformed.

You don't seem to understand. This article will reach a LOT of people and will in itself spawn this nonsense into reality. You can watch this sort of stuff happen from the start.

A female Dr. Who? Gawd no. It's gotta' be a quirky English dude. Anything else just wouldn't be right. (and 12 isn't cutting it ... I miss 10 & 11. And I want to drop kick Clara out the Tardis while in flight. I miss Amy and Rory).

Then shouldn't your OP have been about how inaccurate the article was, and how Peter Capaldi never even said that?

No, i'm just looking at the article and the actor's words, which don't match up.
Peter Capaldi saying that The Doctor is an Alien, and therefore the role is open to anyone (note: not "it's now open to anyone") is very, very far from "Political Correctness gone mad".
I disagree that it's societal, it's just a crappy website chasing hits.
