Let’s not forget that the native guy was the red ranger
And the white boy and girl were blue and pink respectively.
"White power"... "ranger"
And he was edgy and whiney...
God it was so fucking obnoxious to play Power Rangers in kindergarten. “You’re a giiiiirrrrlll, so you have to be the pink ranger.”
so wanna play pink ranger?
Can we play Warrior Cats instead? I get to be Fireheart, you have to be Tigerclaw.
Deal
At least they had diversity...?
True, and honestly I didn’t notice as a kid
Jason was Native? Pretty sure Tommy was Native in the canon (confirmed when they are seeking the Zeo Crystals), but I don't recall Jason ever being identified as Native. Although Tommy did then become the Red Zeo Ranger, so that's not great. Is that what you were referring to?
Austin St John is native
