I'm afraid a black Casey Jones would be considered politically incorrect. A gangsta Casey would be an interesting reimagining of the character though.

I mean if you have such a problem with April being black, why is it OK for Casey to be? If her (supposed) whiteness is important to her character, why is it not to Casey's?

Wasn't Rise "Casey" possibly Asian though? So technically Casey has been another race, if so. Albeit a half-assed attempt at the character and will never feel like Casey imo...

I'm gonna double-down on the awful by merely stating that I never met any black guys who owned a hockey stick. BUT that's purely anecdotal.
I just figured since we're being terrible, well... "Terrible" is my middle name* so I didn't wanna be left out. *Actually it's "Patrick". And now you know.

This topic got me thinking perhaps Casey in Rise is a trans woman so in a way Casey is still a man even in Rise. Or if you're in the trans are real biological sex camp part of the opinion then perhaps Casey is a trans man. Either way of political thinking Rise Casey is a man in Rise.
I just wish black April had been Baxter Stockman's daughter. |

Then she would have been April Stockman, not April O'Neil.

A mixture pencil ink and magic crystal power that is. Genetically speaking, she doesn't have any ancestors if she's a figment of her father's imagination brought to life.

Or O'Neil is her step/adoptive father while Stockman is her mad scientist bio father and creates some nicely awkward character ties. |

Whoever says anything, just look at the original cover of the second issue in color and all questions disappear at once.

Making a white character black is equally as stupid as making a black character white (which doesn't happen because that would be racist right? The other way around isn't racist!).
People are so easily offended by people saying "white character should stay white" and quickly grab their 'racist card' but when they say "white character should be black" then its no longer racism its progressiveness. Remember: Its okay to blackwash, its racist to whitewash. Laughable world we live in, glad i'm a right winger and not a braindead leftist. |
