Power Rangers wasnt racist. They matched up the colors specifically because they spliced in the Ranger fight scenes from the original Zyurangers show. The Yellow Ranger is a boy in the Japanese show, but he was of the slightest build and spent the post time with the pink ranger in fight scenes, so they made it the other girl Ranger, hence Trini, who, by the way, was original played by a French actress in the pilot. It was stereotypical in the characters themselves (Zach being all 'hip hop'), but not racist. No, Tommy was not a treehugger. Especially since he became the white ranger, then the red ranger, then the black ranger, over the course of the series.

I know too much about that dumb show.
