Well, April can be both African-American and Scottish-American. Remember how ethnically ambiguous Mirage April was; I thought she might have been Irish, black and Latina. That said, "O'Neil" is a very Irish name, but not a particularly Scottish one, especially as The "O'-" surname prefix doesn't really occur in native Scottish surnames. She could still be Irish-Scottish&mdash;of Scottish descent but whose Scottish ancestors themselves had recent ancestors from Ireland, like Sean Connery.

Also, sometimes I think it would be nice for there to be a version of TMNT with either no Shredder, or a Shredder who isn't constantly a central plot character. The Shredder plot device has its place in the TMNT mythos, but shouldn't be the primary antagonist for the entire story, or even for half of the story.
