Well, I'm talking about Power Rangers, which is a American/Western Production with Japanese footage, so my focus is on Western isms, and their affect at home and abroad.



Even if it's futile, it's still the right thing to call out wrongs in a kids show. Especially if it's a kids show, since will be one of the many influences that will influence children as they grow up. Edit: See here:



Which is why in RPM, Red Ranger Scott is the central character and Dillion is part of the ensemble...oh, wait.

....now what kind of racism THAT is, I'd be curious about.

I'm confused. What are you talking about?

Question: Do you believe in the concept of Colorblindness?[/QUOTE]
First how is PR influencing kids to be racist when the black/ethnic minority Ranger is treated the same as every other ranger?

Second: the reason why male blacks are generally prefered over females is because PR is a BOYS' toy franchise boys generally relate better to/buy more toys of MALE characters it has nothing to do with sexism.

Third: You do realize racism can work both ways right? and your posts make it seem like you have some issue with white people if that's not the case I apologize.

Many people believe Colorblindness is a nice representation of racial harmony, but that isn't the case.

Having Rangers of color doesn't mean their portrayal won't be problematic, nor they would receive equal focus. It might not be explicit, but one of the coded message would be the white Rangers are more important.

Ah, yeah that's sexism. The fact that it's a boy franchise doesn't change that. If the women characters actually don't matter, why are the white women Rangers given more focus?

No, you are thinking of prejudice. People of color can be prejudiced against white people, but racism are the institutions and structures that facilitate, conscious and unconscious, that the vast majority of media is very pale and very male. I'm a white person, but there are legitimate issues with how the west currently controls the world. Most activists who say this don't have issue with individual white people, just the structures that privilege people like me (I'm disabled and working class, but that's another can of worms).

Big news! According to RangerCrew, Andrew Gray here is our Red Ranger:

Dude has the model look on point, not gonna lie...but that usually means the acting is the opposite. Hopefully, that isn't the case this year.

Wow, He looks like a cross between Alata and Tsukasa from Decade.

He can't look like Alta! He's not a midget.

To me he looks more like a bad guy than a red....at least on this pic.

The dude looks like a menacing jock.

For whatever reason, I can't imagine him playing Gosei Red and Gokai Red. Hopefully he has some solid acting skills.

Whoever they cast will be rangers for the next 4 years....Scary thought.

Has there been anything about the Goseigers and Gokaigers being comprised of the same team members?
