I heard that Zack's actor requested the Black suit because he thought it looked cool. Also in the pilot the yellow ranger wasnt Asian.

I feel this is one of those things most people "criticize" as a joke, understanding there was probably just some unfortunate oversight during casting. >_>

I've seen people say the black ranger being black is sexist, the pink ranger being a woman is sexist, and the yellow ranger being Asian is also racist.

Pretty much this. Im sure out there in the vast internet you can find some people that are angry and say its racist and really mean it but the vast majority of the time people seem to be joking about it.

IIRC he said that he initially tried out to be the blue ranger. And yeah in the original pilot, the yellow ranger was....black lol.

You should be concerned more about Saban firing half the original cast when they complained about not being able to afford to move out of the cars/vans they were stuck living in.

It was a big thing about ten or fifteen years ago. But I never got why it was supposed to be racist. Black has alway been the "cool guy" color even if the casting doubles as a pun.

it was never a controversy though like the TC is trying to make it sound. i've always heard it treated as a joke...like "lol...they actually made the black ranger black and the yellow ranger yellow lol!"...no one really cared. it was just a humorous circumstance people pointed at.

Ignoring the fact that the comparison he tried to make is completely stupid and shows his ignorance on the matter to begin with lol...i can just see him sitting there brainstorming ideas for topics as this one hits him..."YES! Great topic idea! Can't wait to post it!"

Yeah I remember. You always did have one or two people who would add a chuckling "that's so messed up" or something though.

I've personally never met people who were actually offended by Power Rangers.

I've met plenty of people who've made jokes, but nobody who was *actually* offended.

If they exist, it's a recent thing and they're just looking for things to be offended about.
