Why I Don't Think Zack and Trini Made MMPR Racist at All

There's that really stupid allegation that the characters of Trini and Zack were racist.  But now for a little but of enlightenment on why Zack and Trini don't have anything racist about them!


Okay Zack is a black man and assigned as a black ranger. But I'd say that this is NOT freaking racist as some would think.  He's a black man as a black ranger, yes no doubt about it.  But he's not portrayed negatively even if he does sometimes break dance but he's still one of the coolest characters ever.


The second is Trini Kwan.  She is NOT a negative portrayal of Asians, in fact she exists as the most kick-butt character of the team!  So maybe she's got her independent mindedness, she isn't a very stereotypical Asian girl either.  For one, she's a highly skilled martial artist for somebody hesitant to fight.  Also with this allegation that it's racist to have a yellow person as a yellow ranger, please do note that EVERY Sentai yellow ranger is Asian too. =P
