Hey, I just saw an original episode of Power Rangers, and I looked at the colors and the people. And I noticed that the asian is yellow, the black guy is black, the jew is blue, the jock is red, and the valley girl is pink. Isn't that ironic, with all the stereotypes now?

Yeah, that is pretty interesting. Power Rangers rocks, but -sigh- I need to watch some more episodes. Their fighting moves are corny, but the red ranger Jason ish hawtness.

If you think "politically correct," then yes, that could be true, but I'm sure it's a coincidence. When the show first came out, I was about ten or eleven (not sure...). Race and colors were not something I worried about when it came to watching the show. |

Well.. I noticed that when I was young.. and then I saw I Love The 90's and they said that too.. Some guy was like "It's clear. The irish guy is the green one, the yellow one is the asian chick, the black guy is.. well.. the black ranger, the pink one is the soft and delicate white girl and the red one is the white man." or something like that.. it was funny..

I've noticed this too, the original power rangers about the black is black, yellow is yellow and etc. Frankly, if they were going to do this, they should have just given them like a mask. No need to waste money on a suit, if its the same color. Also have you noticed, that the asian girl is really smart, and the black guy can dance well? THose are other 2 racist-like things. Yeah, What about Good Charlette, i bet they weren't as good as the power rangers, hell not even as half good. Damn 11 year olds. Power rangers, was and still is the shit. The original and a couple of the new ones after that atleast. THe best episode, is when they get all the red rangers from the previous series together. There were like 19 of them, from each of the old ones and such. |
