Yes because three reasons... 1) They didn't think that a scientist character should be black. 2) They didn't want a black character being abused by Shredder because of the implications. And 3) They didn't want a black villain because they were concerned about inspiring or being accused of harboring racist attitudes. Even back in the late 80s they try not to tick off people.

Raphael never fails to make me laugh! 😂
I encourage you to watch the entire series. 1987 Tmnt deserves more attention respect and love.
