Only when taken out of context.
Context is: “Hey honey, the clown cancelled for little Bobby’s 4th birthday, do you want me to call the White Power Ranger to replace them?”
Makes sense still. There are several colors of Power Rangers, and they are always referred to as the [Color] Power Ranger.
Does this sound off to you?
Hey honey, the clown cancelled for little Bobby’s 4th birthday, do you want me to call the Blue Power Ranger to replace them?
To which the wife responds with “what are you? A KREE LOVER?! I fucking knew it, you thought I really believed Yon-Rogg was just a close friend at work?!”
Guy, there’s the Black Power Ranger and the Yellow Power Ranger, with a black guy and an Asian girl respectively.
They knew.
Thats what I’m saying!
It really depends where you put that small pause.
Its like saying spider-man without the hyphen.
“The malice is in the eye of the beholder.”
Nuance and context is in short supply these days.
One time a coworker was randomly talking about something sexual so I said “that’s racy of you” she screams “DON’T CALL ME RACIST!”. I said “that’s not what racy means” she replied with “I DON’T CARE!” and stormed off

I mean, they made the Asian girl the yellow ranger, the “Native American” (not sure if the actor actually is but the character was) the Red Ranger, the black guy the Black Ranger, with Basic White People as gender-defaults Pink and Blue.
The White Power Ranger might be innocent but the producers knew what they were doing. He’s even more powerful than the others put together…
To be fair, Walter Jones (Zack) was given a choice of which color to be. After thinking that there was no way in hell they would let him be Red, he chose Black so he could be a Black superhero/role model.
Thuy was also the second one cast for the Yellow ranger after the original quit when she saw how shitty they were getting paid (which would eventually lead to Austin, Walter, and Thuy quitting in the second season when contract negotiations fell through)
Are you saying he lives 2 lives where one may be ashamed of the other?
Wasn’t the white power ranger the green power ranger first, or am I misremembering the story (it’s been a while, sorry)?
He was.
I remember only because at the time they were advertising that the green power ranger would be getting a power upgrade and I said to my older brother that I bet he would become the white power ranger (not being aware of the connotations at the time, nor anything else other than the kid’s show).
He said that wasn’t possible. How would they display the trademark white diamonds, he asked? It still boggles my mind that that was his only reasoning.
I only remember because it was the most important thing in the world to me at 6
Yeah it’s like, “Srsly, you don’t hear it?”
Only if you’re a racist piece of shit which it looks like you might be for even posing this question
Said it above, but get a clue:
I mean, they made the Asian girl the yellow ranger, the “Native American” (not sure if the actor actually is but the character was) the Red Ranger, the black guy the Black Ranger, with Basic White People as gender-defaults Pink and Blue.
