Keith David also voices Grimlock (this version isn't an idiot) in Earthspark, which is just really cool
Bender is said in the show to be made in Mexico and his full name is Bender Bending Rodriguez, that robot a cholo. Same with the hyenas, Shenzi black but that man Banzai a whole ass Mexican
The hyenas are as literal a figurative representation of Nazis, complete with goose-stepping and (in unused storyboards) marching in a swastika formation.
Sesame Street was based on inner city kids. After seeing how TV could help give them a head start. Maybe not Elmo specifically but he lives in the black part of town.
Even if Elmo is not black, he's like those whites/latinos that grow up in black communities for one reason or another and are pretty much adopted into them as another black person
Knuckles is interesting because he was clearly originally designed as an Afro-Caribbean character with the dreads and the color scheme of his shoes and was even given a Jamaican accent in some comics, but then was clearly coded as Maya in Adventure 1 despite keeping some of that black coding with his music tracks throughout the Adventure games. I guess he's Afro-Indigenous?
Yeah I was confused about that too, like his tribe and their culture is Incan/Mayan inspired but he was coded the most Caribbean man in the same breath so ???
Cause that's how writing works...? Taking parts of things that make them unique and mixing them in ways that work? Things can be the sum of their parts.
@@kiantesa2173 I mean yes and no. Overall I don't see anything wrong with this but usually when drawing inspiration from cultures you make sure to draw those that are closely related to each other geographically and periodically. I feel Inkan/Mayan culture might be a little too far away from Carribbean culture which is a lot more recent and completely different. However it all doesn't matter when it comes to Knuckles because ethnicity/culture is not a major component of his character. Overall you gotta be careful when choosing to create something that is inspired by reap life references and or history. But looking at the genre and Knuckles as a whole, it's not really set in stone. He could be Mayan Carribbean all we know, it's not like people can't be multi ethnic.
I’m probably gonna sound like a complete nerd, but I just wanted to mention that ninja turtle in the red mask was actually Leonardo from the 25th episode of rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Knuckles for sure black. A well respected Caribbean man. I don't see bender as black he more of an off the wall white guy 😂. The female hyaena somewhat black 😂. Lex luthor from the superman animated series is black even tho it wasn't there.
Country was originally a African language before white people stole it, same thing with cowboys and cowgirls. Even country music was created by black people.
Arthur has black coded relatives who live out in the country, farming. Arthur is light skinned, but The Brain in 💯% black. He's got african relatives and celebrates Kwanza.

Rise of the TMNT (2018) Donnie is confirmed as autistic. People often head-cannon Silver as autistic, too. White man tier having characters seen as autistic is interesting, since there can be a racial bias in autism diagnoses. In the past it was mostly middle class and richer white people getting diagnosed. White boys, specifically children, with obvious signs were studied and are the basis of past criteria. They also make up the stereotypes of autism as a “White Man” disorder. POC, women, queer people, adults, and people who don’t need as many accommodations are less likely to be diagnosed until they’re older. Sometimes they just don’t get diagnosed and never find out or they self diagnosis. More diverse representation of neurodivergent people would help decrease this stigma and stereotype. I think this would make an interesting video essay. (Also Mikey is confirmed to have ADHD in the 2018 one, too.) Edit: I forgot to mention how expensive getting tested and diagnosed is, not to mention the state of US healthcare and insurance. Doctors can be biased because of these stereotypes, too.
Silver isn't autistic. He's just kinda dumb but in a charming way. He has no social knowledge or experience because everyone in his world was fucking dead for most of his life.
Yes and yes to @horizon5417 Basically if they weren't cool enough they got thrown off the list, but, you know that's how black people operate. Arthur, Donatello, who else?
For Optimus and Bumblebee I can see prime as white or with melanin, and Bee screams white boy to me, unless you’re talking about Bayverse Bee. Bay Bee definitely gives off light skin (and is canonly in TFA).
You know it's funny cuz Knux is black in our recent culture, but bro...the OG Knuckles is Mayan. He's Guate/Mexican bro😂 he still technically POC tho, but he not Jamaican outside his color scheme. But hey, Afro-Latino knuckles i can fux with. -
I personally headcannon all the ROTTMNT as black, though I wouldn't bat an eye if someone disagreed with Leo on that one, being played by Ben Schwartz makes it pretty easy to see him as white for a lot of people lol

You don’t know how many things I’ve seen of people making Sonic black And than fucking shadow Edit: *people in my replies Blaze is Asian don’t hide from the truth*
I think people make Sonic black because of his voice actors, Jaleel White and Deven Mack. White voiced Sonic during severals animated adaptations, so many people grew hearing his voice as Sonic (since 2D era Sonic didn't have a voice) and Mack voiced Sonic in Sonic Prime, the most recent animated adaptation. However, beside those two, Sonic was voiced mostly by white man in English, so I see Sonic as white In my opinion: Sonic = White Tails = Asian (Japanese, very obviously to catch) Knuckles = Black PS: Nevermind, just read the comments and they pretty much pointed to what I said
Silver is 100 percent caucasian
200%
Very very white

If the pictures for Donatello and “Raphael” (that was leo wearing a red mask) had been from any other series I would have agreed but the rise turtles are so black and Hispanic coded it’s unreal
Bumblebee the goat fr.
Transformers mentioned?!🤯🤯🤯
My black senses are tingling with this one 🗣 🔥 (I’m not black)
I don't think Shadows black he's just edgy and on timing
idk man, hes literally part black arms
@@thefantasylife2267 his fur is black not his skin
He’s definitely black
@@ggguNeck that’s not his fur, those are quills
Shadow the hedgehog: am I a joke to you.
I personally believe shadow's black.
I mean the way he acts is he's got the soul of a black man, a man who wears black Air Forces.
I personally see him as Hispanic
shadow def just a emo hispanic
He’s literally black and he has dark skin energy he 100% black hell the dude always packin heat 😭
@@Invisibleboy999no tf he does not and cholos pack heat to not just black people
@@Invisibleboy999 def hispanic
It's sad that Jazz from the Transformers gets no recognition when it comes to this
I thought the Piccolo thing was a joke then the DBS movie rolls around and the only minor character chatting him up is Pan's teacher.
Where's autobot Jazz?
Good video, the editing made me laugh and the song choice was good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees Knuckles and Martian Manhunter as black.
Bruh they put Optimus on this but not Jazz??? Jazz is litterally the black coded autobot and also a goat
I KNEW SHADOW WAS BLACK THANK YOU
Should've been a mixed tier
Bumblebee has always been my favorite transformer
wait, that raph picture you chose wasn't even Raph himself (that was Leo). Woopies (For the Rise of tmnt version, that's Leo)
Yeah, Leo is the most white of the bros in that show.
@@vito6197that’s for sure 💀

The Murray, Dimitri, Mz Ruby and Grizz(Sly Cooper)
Drax the Destroyer, Gamora and other Aliens from(Guardians of Galaxy)
Felix the Cat(especially the 90s version)
The Mask(The Mask)
maybe The Monstars(SpaceJam)
Daffy and Plucky Duck(Looney and Tiny Toons)
The Three Bears(Puss in Boots Last Wish)
Zakumi(FIFA 2010 Mascot)
Maybe Antauri and OTTO(SRMTHFG)
Fido Dido(Seven Up Mascot)
Cuphead
Freaknik(Freaknik the Musical)
Maybe Hunter(Spyro)
Maybe Twilight(MLP)
When you ranked rise of the tmnt Raph, that was actually Leo 😭
There was an episode that they all wore red to do extra ninja training or something like that. Love this tho‼️‼️
"Are yall entertained" aye sir
why this so accurate lmao, i can assure you this is the black consensus
You don’t know how many things I’ve seen of people making Sonic black
And than fucking shadow
Edit: *people in my replies Blaze is Asian don’t hide from the truth*
I think people make Sonic black because of his voice actors, Jaleel White and Deven Mack. White voiced Sonic during severals animated adaptations, so many people grew hearing his voice as Sonic (since 2D era Sonic didn't have a voice) and Mack voiced Sonic in Sonic Prime, the most recent animated adaptation. However, beside those two, Sonic was voiced mostly by white man in English, so I see Sonic as white
In my opinion:
Sonic = White
Tails = Asian (Japanese, very obviously to catch)
Knuckles = Black
PS: Nevermind, just read the comments and they pretty much pointed to what I said
@@rorykamau750 I always thought Amy was Korean and tails was british
Sonic is light-skinned shadow darkskinned tails white silver white blaze latina
@@Invisibleboy999 where tf did blaze being latina come from? if anything I feel shadow is the cholo
@@launcherx2044 nah shadow darkskinned
1:12 I think people are confusing black air force energy with being black, Optimus prime ain't black, he ain't really anything
Optimus Prime looks he'd call me "one of the good ones". Absolutely deserves Hell Nah tier
Peak editing, no idea why you dont have 10k subs
knuckles do have hands tho
Are we gonna acknowledge he used a picture of Leonardo for Raphael lmaoo
