      Yeah right? when i watched the show as a child (rather made fun of my slightly younger friends for watching it) i noticed that shit immediately.

      Pink - girl

      Black - black dude

      Yellow - asian

      And when the green ranger became the white power ranger…boy howdy did i give my friends shit about that.

      I just didn’t see it

      A child did… A blind man could, stfu loser

        I don’t know if it’s my own prejudice, if you can call it that, but I feel like even nerdy guy (glasses=nerd) being the Blue ranger and the jock bro being the leader and Red ranger also felt like typical assignments for the colors.

      Yeah, that’s kinda what I meant. It’s like the ‘I didn’t know I couldn’t do that’ excuse, they knew because it was obvious to absolutely everyone but they can still hide behind the excuse because other White people will accept it and cover for them. That’s part of Whiteness.
