It's International Blog Against Racism Week!
I was going to say I couldn't think of anything personal to write about (but I would be lying.) It's really just that I was watching Power Rangers last night when I realized that it was IBARW. So now I want to talk about race and Power Rangers.

Should I?

What would your reaction be if I wrote an International Blog Against Racism Week post about Power Rangers?

Hold up. Wasn't that the show where the black ranger was black and the yellow ranger was asian?

I'd much rather you write something personal instead of fannish.

My thoughts on Power Rangers and/or race. Let me show you them.

Ticky has no race, ticky has no gender. Ticky is the perfect box.

Also, I just like making polls.

There were multiple black rangers! Although I have no idea if you mean black as in race or black as in uniform colors, but both are accurate.

I think you're remembering Power Rangers in Space (which is the last season I watched until I picked up again with SPD. I'm working my way backwards...) That would be Andros and his sister Karone, who went by the name "Astronema" while she was evil. They actually didn't make the black guy the black ranger that season-- the black guy wore the blue uniform, and the black uniform was worn by the latino.

Interestingly, it's another one of the seasons where the white protagonists weren't the majority-- for the first half of the season, they were a minority, although the addition of Zhane as the Silver Ranger brought the white protagonists up to half of the team.
