American? Wasn't she more Australian? The accent, the fact that she was said to
come from Australia... does that mean nothing?

So Caucasians are All-American (and all American, judging by your description of
Kat), and Asians can be, but African-Americans can't? Can I please see some
justification of that other than 'because I said so'?

She's an alien too. I hardly see how she qualifies as any more 'special' than
Maya.

Oh, I see. You only posted this for the attention. I suppose I should be ignoring
this, then, but I just... have a hard time letting something like this stand, even
when the only alternative is feeding the trolls. Sorry everyone, and you can blame
his next dozen posts on me.

it. I know for a fact that LightSpeed Rescue casting has NOT begun, or if it
has, it's in the early stages. At that, the extras are casted way after the
plot and main cast is ironed out, and I know this has not been accomplished.
Anyways, AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CANNOT BE A PINK RANGER!
That may sound racist, but it's true. The Pink Rangers have all been "All
American" girls. The ethnic side of the female Rangers goes to yellow. Think
about it:
Trini: Japanese, chinese, whatever
Aisha: African American
Tanya: African American
Ashley: All American Blond
Maya: An alien (does that count?)
As for Pink Rangers, they've always been all-american, with the small exception
of Cassie.
Kim- All American (TOTALLY)
Kat- Poopy head all American (okay, so i didnt like kat)
Cassie- Asian, but depicted as an All-American
Kendrix- MegaWhiz All-Galaxian girl
Karone- All Galaxian Girl
Plus what would the black Pink Rangers name be? It HAS to start with a "K"
sound. The only one I can think of is Khadijah. That isn't a Ranger-y name to
me. I know I'm sounding racist, but in all seriousness, the PR world of the
Pink Ranger has been molded by all american caucasion women. I don't think that
in the fifth incarnation, we should break that mold with a new ethnic
background. In my opinion...CAUCASION PINK RANGER!
I'm really interested to see the feed-back on this one.

> sound. The only one I can think of is Khadijah.
Well, you're wrong then. Heck, anything can be a name nowadays. And, Saban
can break the mold with "K" names all the time and go with something
different. Moesha, the Pink Ranger, anyone?
I think it'd be weird to have the Yellow Ranger's name start with "K" for a
change. I remember writing many PRiS scenarios where Karone replaced Ashley
as the Yellow Ranger, but those never got really far... well, there was my
mini-series of "original" PRiS adventures with Andros, Zhane, Karone, and 3
other people who were the team at about 4-5 years before PRiS. Of course, it
wipes out that Karone was kidnapped at age 4, but that's what fanfics are
for. :-)
Anyway, I cast an African-American as the Pink Ranger in that. Remember
"Clueless", the TV series? Stacey Dash from there was who I cast, and she
"played" Carrie, the Pink Ranger.
Back to the original subject... who's to say that Lightspeed Rescue won't
break the mold of everything that PR's been for the past 6 series? It is a
new beginning, you know. Absolutely NO PRiS connections will be in this
series (except for Alpha-6, but he's a PR icon). New world, new Rangers...
new standards for Power Rangers.

Kat is Australian.
Red Racer
about it.
Red Ranger - TJ
Blue Ranger - TJ
Yellow Ranger - Aisha, Tanya
Green Ranger - Damon
Black Ranger - Zack
So...the only Ranger not to be black so far is Pink.
So...it's Pink Ranger's turn now.

No, no, no....Froog, you got it all wrong, my friend...according to him Asians
can be "depicted" as All-American, that doesn't mean they really are. Now if
African-Americans could be "depicted" as All-American that would be a different
story...[sarcasim]

Please shutup and stop being so racist.

Am I the only one who is offended by this post? What the hell does being White,
Black, Asian, Indian, and what have you, have anything to do with being All
American? Last time I checked being all American does not have anything to do
with your race. Don't forget Whites immegrated to this country just like every
other race did except for the Native Americans. And if some people want to go
down that road then true Native Americans should be the only ones called "All
American". And who says that the Pink Ranger ALWAYS needs to be white or her
name to start with a K? Change is good you know....and different ethnic and
race backround groups for the rangers keeps the show fresh. I mean how boring
would it be if we ALWAYS had the same ethnic group playing the same color
ranger. Who here would be in suspense to see what the next cast would be made
up of and what colors they would be if we already knew Saban would use the same
ones as he did last time. Like with the Red Ranger...gee wonder what next
year's Red leader will be. I have nothing against the Pink Ranger being white
or black, or what have you but to hear people talk like the person on this post
just did....its just plain ridiculious. Chance is good [miko's two cents on the
matter]

Sadly, that's very unlikely, unless there's a sentai with a female Red
Ranger. It's bad enough that Maya's sentai counterpart is flat as a board,
except for in the crotchular area!

Or, in fact, any name that begins with a "K." Why on earth do people assume
that an African (or African-American) Ranger *must* have an ethnic-sounding
name? There has, admittedly, been a recent vogue for unusual names, but
there is *no reason* why an African-American female Ranger couldn't be
called Kathy, or Caitlyn, or Kelly, or Kristine.

You're right. It does.
The Pink Rangers have all been
"All

Yeah, and until a few years ago, Zordon & Alpha 5 were always around
guiding the Rangers. But (gasp) that changed. As many have stated before
me, change is an integral part of PR.

Not quite, IMO. Especially in "Passing The Torch", when she makes note

No it doesn't.
The only one I can think of is Khadijah. That isn't a Ranger-y
name to

It doesn't have to be an "african-american sounding" name. Any name
under the sun will work.

Yeah, you are.

I have one word for you:
Baka.
Mirv465
2) Why does the Pink Ranger Have to be All-American?
3) Any race can be depicted as All-American
4) All American doesn't apply in a SPACE colony
5) You're racist
6) Your argument is full of inconsistencies
7) GROW UP, it's only TV, and the people who make it can do whatever they want
8) Did I forget to mention that you're racist?
9) Khadijah?! You are really racist

We haven't had a black White Ranger, either. Of course, that will depend on
whenever we get another White Ranger in sentai. <shrug>
Dagmar Buse
those who are interested), it is postulated that in a Ranger team of the
far future (like 200 years or so) the Rangers and their colors actually
represent the different continents, which I thought a fabulous idea.
Of course, the tightly-knit group of friends who hang out together all
the time went down the drain, but it still made sense and was
acceptable. And no, "Dark Lady" is *not* about that Ranger team
primarily, but Cheryl said she might go back to it at some (much) later
point.
Incidentally, her White Ranger was American, but only because for the
purpose of the story he was a descendant of Tommy ...
Dagmar.
