I can't get over the fact that there was a White Power Ranger.

    Wasn't it just an American carbon copy of a Japanese show?

    The footage of them in full face obscuring costumes, along with the mecha, is mostly straight from various Japanese shows, overdubbed into English. The US production company got Japan to shoot a little bit of extra content when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a smash hit, before they started rotating to other Japanese series to take footage from. You can make more money off of the toys, anyway, if you have new action figures and mechs every year.

    And the blue one was gay, got a lot of hate from the other actors. Yellow one was Asian. 90s was weird man.

    The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc... being an accident is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn't tell anyone?

    Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.

    Are you being purposely stupid?
