That's not racist...

It wasn't fucked up, the time we are in now where we question that is fucked up. They didn't do it to try and be racist...it was a kids show for like 4-11 year olds.

Why is it fucked up that we question it? They might have (even if it wasn't to be racist) done it on purpose, that's a pretty big coincidence if they didn't, so I question if it was on purpose or if it was to be racist. I don't see why it's fucked to question other people's intentions. And I don't see why it matters it was meant for young kids, in the movie "The Rescuers" there was a frame of a naked woman in the background, true shit, they had to recall it. http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/rescuers.asp

What is fucked is that just because they actually use a diverse group of people it is seen years later to be racist, whereas at the time it was perfectly acceptable. So what if their costumes matched their skin colours, maybe that was done so the children could easily know who was who when they wasn't in costume. It isn't as though they used any stereotypes or anything, all of the rangers (except the red) were treated the same. And as for the white ranger..he was originally green.

The problem is not the diversity, the problem was their poor choice of matching costumes with skin. What you are doing is teaching children to emphasize skin color. If we as a society do not emphasize skin color so much, then it becomes a non-issue and we learn to look at everyone the same.

But it would have been if they didn't match, as i said it is for children!

That's messed up! They expose children to black people!

People like you that point things like this out are actually the cause of the racism. Actually, this isn't even racism, so unless you're pointing out that it's funny, there's really no need to point it out at all.

In my opinion, it's not exactly racist to give them the same color suit as their skin. It's like "yup, this guy is Asian." How is that racist?

"Yellow" is a derogatory term for Asians.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Never in my life have I heard of yellow as a derogatory term for Asians. It's simply the closest color to give to them.

It's called "Urban Dictionary" for a reason. If you are from a boring suburb, then chances are 99% of your friends don't use the stuff on there.

It's a meme based on some idiot rapper that calls himself that. Worst part is he has many loyal fans, a further sign of the decline of western culture and the coming apocalypse.

That's depressing. How was it related to the Monty Python quote?
