So what's more racist -- the American version for color-coding the Power Rangers according to their ethnicity or the original Japanese version for only selecting Japanese people? Still the American version, huh? Enh, it was worth a shot. (Via Gorilla Mask)

Usually I don't really like the College Humor stuff (they try too hard sometimes), but that was pretty spot on. :)

What about the blue ranger? Was he a Na'vi?

I LOVE this!
I am still a huge O.G. Power Rangers fan and I can't stop laughing at this. If anyone else has a link to stuff like this please send it to me!

That gag was funnier on a VH1 special I watched ten years ago.

Sooooo....the Red Ranger was a commie? Did I miss that? And the Blue Ranger was a smurf? And the Green Ranger was the Hulk hiding out??
Kaoy replied to Bill:
You even watch the video? Red was Native American, and Green was Jewish.

Funny stuff, kind of takes me back. Funny now that they are reairing the original MMPR no one in todays generation seems to be complaining.
The guys that made MMPR have talked about the color situation before. In all honosty they said the idea never crossed their minds. They just didn't think like that and where kind of disgusted that people not only did think like that but where trying to say that the producers and what not did as well. They put Trini in the yellow suit cause she was the smallest and easist to pass as a guy in the japanese footage (Zuyranger's SaberRanger was a dude. . funny enough named Boi). It's kind of funny to see that creators reaction to all the "Controversy". Also the Red Ranger wasn't Native American till Zeo.

Why does they yellow Ranger have a pterodactyl helmet? This isn't Dino Thunder here people if Zordon is involved
LBD "Nytetrayn" replied to theBRUCE:
I think the black helmet was the Tyrannosaurus, too.

That's crazy, 'cause I was just thinking the other day about how non-PC it was to make the black ranger a black guy and the yellow ranger an asian chick.

I laughed a lot. It was like I was 10 again.

That's the first time other than the movie that Zordon's mouth actually worded his words.
demoncat said:
lol loved how the rangers to be finaly told zordon that he was being a little racist and homo phobic when he told that one guy he could not be red . plus loved the part where they told Zordon bye bye. and thankfully no alpha one of the annoying parts of the first series

Too bad it took till Time Force for there to be a girl leader, and she wasn't even the Red Ranger! And there was that girl who was the red ranger in SPD, right? But she turned out to be one of the villains. Power Rangers taught me girl leaders can only produce evil :D
LBD "Nytetrayn" said:
Wow, this cracked me up.

So, I'm going to be the first to get his panties in a twist over this, but the white ranger isn't the leader, the red one is.
