I believe Tommy was the one with Native American roots based on an episode about his brother (played by JDF's actual brother), and he would eventually become a Red Ranger.

Also of note is that Trini in the pilot was played by Audri Dubois, who is not Asian. She was replaced after asking for more money. The Black Ranger being African-American just happened to be coincidence and as I recall from Linkara's review the Saban crew didn't realize the whole black/yellow thing until about 7-8 episodes in.
