I was watching an old school power rangers, like from the early 90's and realized the Yellow Ranger was a Korean girl. The Black Ranger was African-American.............. HOLY SH- eek

O-o-oh, yeah! There was a website I read where they pointed this out.

Red - Aboriginal, Native
Yellow - Asian
Pink - Female
Black - Black
Blue - ... not much I can say for him, but I know he is gay in real life, and that he experienced a lot of homophobia on set.
White - Caucasion - strongest of all the power rangers

Hmm, I watched a few episodes of the Japanese show it was inspired by (Super Sentai) when I was in Japan. I didn't know the American version was so diverse.

Lol, thats kind of how I was thinking. To be a minority as a leading character in the 90's, they probably took what they could get. sweatdrop

Friend of mine mentioned something else about the red ranger, and one for the green ranger, on which with the green ranger i won't even mention due to being a bit more racist/rude than the yellow ranger XD
