(EVIE MAGAZINE) – What do Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Annie from Annie, Mary Jane from the Spiderman universe, Starfire from Teen Titans, April O’Neil from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Trish from The Witcher all have in common? All of these characters (and many more!) were originally redheaded white women who have been redesigned to be black in recent iterations.
What may appear to be a harmless trend intended to create more representations of nonwhite characters has become, in actuality, just race-baiting progressive guilt that isn’t only divisive, but counterproductive. What’s even more ironic is that redheads only make up 1-2% of the global population and 2-6% of the American population, so they’re also a minority compared to the black population, which was 14.2% of the American population in 2021.

After the trailer for Seth Rogen’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem dropped, buzz spread about how April O’Neil, a character most often depicted as a redhead, was redesigned to be a black woman. Though some have tried to argue that April was always supposed to be black or Asian, the original comics depict her as white.
