There is absolutely nothing wrong with April being black. Meet Kevin Eastman's original inspiration for : The late April Fisher, who was of mixed ancestry including African-American.

The original Mirage April was more often drawn to resemble Caucasian, and was sometimes drawn to more resemble April Fisher, but the truth was that April O'Neil could have appeared as any ethnicity and it still would have worked; Peter Laird even originally imagined the character to be Asian. There may legitimately be many things about this new series to complain about, but April's ethnic portrayal should never be one of them.
