If you go by that logic, 2012 Mikey was black, even though he was voiced by a white guy. He went from slight surfer slang to black ghetto slang as the show progressed. Hell, he used more black slang than Bebop did.

2012 Mikey didn’t really speak ebonics, he spoke street slang. Similar in style as it’s an inner city youth way of speaking. But not specific to one culture.

Though I hesitate to even bring this up, there's some debate as to whether people of Jewish ancestry are considered/consider themselves white.
And as both Leo and Don are voiced by Jewish actors, merely calling them white might not be accurate, depending on who you talk to.

'cubed...I have no words and I want to scream.

By this logic, Mike in OT was stoner and Shredder was black.

No, NOW I don't have any words...
Being so anal about this stuff is sign of having a lot of free time on ones hands.

Not the slightest bit surprised by that response, all things considered.

If you have car, you should paint it with: "To troll and bait".

TMNT are mutant turtles, as such, they don't have ethnicity in-universe, at least not like humans. So this debate is absolutely hilarious.

Honestly, I am not even surprised that you and 'cubed were going at it.
You are indeed worthy of each other.

I'm neither debating Cubed, nor discussing the ethnicity of mutant turtles, but rather pointing out that the voice actors for Donatello and Leonardo are Jewish.

I'm sorry this is troubling for you.

So ... I wonder if one of the episodes will have a musical number.

Maybe one of the new mutants will have an ability that relates to music/ melody?

I bet there will be atleast one episode with a musical number, and no special mutants needed for it either Just the turtles and Splinter singing about the tv not working or something.

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

I'm imagining a scenario where a melodic mutant forces the turtles to sing for a(n) entire episode.

I'm wondering what type of genre they would sing, though.

Maybe, they would sing different genres throughout the entire episode, or they would each sing different genres.

Donatello: Jazz
Michelangelo: Country
Raphael: Rock n' Roll
Leonardo: Soul

Is this just baseless speculation, or have I missed something that indicates even a 5% chance of that happening?

What happened in this thread while I was at work all day and had to miss out... lol

Turtles bursting into song? *sigh* Sure, why not... just go full bat**** crazy and do every absurd thing possible. And get it all out of the way in one series so we never have to do those things again.

Probably during SDCC 2018 if Nickelodeon has a panel for it.
