Maybe so, but given that there’s no intrinsic human component to them, it’s about the same as saying their canonical cat form is Ragdoll. They were just adding a human representation arbitrarily.
Plus I would be surprised if they were Black in the OG cartoon. You know, on account of society and stuff.
I mean I still don’t think that this really indicates any sort of “canonical human form” but I think it’s cool that their essential human representation is Black.
I mean, okay? I feel like “human form” is pretty straightforward. Regardless of coding, the term “human form” doesn’t actually apply any more than “butterfly form” or “air fryer form” since they have no canonical history of ever having any intrinsic human identity as far as I know.
But… they don’t have a human form. They’re just turtles who mutated.
I want to say I vaguely remember an episode of the OG cartoon where they got turned into humans.

Edit: poor choice of example breed.
That was entirely unintentional. Cat breeds are weird.

What OP means is probably that they are black-coded.
