Me too. Peter says no though. I just don't get how could someone to look at those pages and covers and not see a biracial woman. She is definitely not Anglo.

This comes up on Tumblr every now and again, with people cherry picking art from various covers and pages depending on which side of the argument they happen to lean towards.
How April looks really depends on who's drawing her, and in the case of the panels that started this thread: who's coloring her. Personally? I'd love to see a brunette April of any ethnicity. But we've about as much chance of that happening as we do of Shadow Jones making an appearance on the Nick Toon.

I like April being a red-head. Remember April was actually always seen as brunette until the 4kids cartoon gave her the definitive hair color. That's why both IDW and Nick kept the red/orange hair afterward.

although we've seen race changes at times and the turtle franchise I still feel more comfortable with April staying as a white woman mostly because she's a character that the majority of people care about as opposed to other characters that have less impact

April being a person of colour changes absolutely nothing about who she is as a character. I can't imagine what problem there could be with making her a POC, or what valid reason there is for keeping her white, necessarily.

As a person of color, I can't help but feel slightly offended, but I'm sure the offense caused was unintentional.

Why would it matter if she wasn't white though? What's wrong with an April of color? I don't mean that to sound confrontational so please don't think I'm attacking you, I'm just saying - there'll still be all the other versions where April's white. I'm more likely to pick something up if it has non-white or non-het characters - there might be plenty of girls and women out there who would love the idea of a black April.

P.S. Wasn't April orginally going to be blonde in the Early Nick Concept art?
