Personally, I love how the show has depicted people from all around the globe. You could say it`s been a tapestry of heroes that have found brotherhood among many differences.
Of course there is always the whole SPD issue alot of us banged on. Things like Sky`s reaction to a black street thug being given a superior position. Was this an issue or were we just reading too much into this? I dunno, since Bruce declared anything like that was never intended, but yet in Reflections it seems like there was something to be said for Jack`s "Heroes come in all colors" line. There were folks who got up in arms of Bridge`s "Reptiles" line but really that was nothing. Over the years PR has given us so many positive looks on people that I think it should have been given an award.

I read that interview from Rhoda Montemayor early this year, if you haven`t read it you should. She talks about how race plays a role in an actor getting a part, and how even if you are Asian a producer will tell you you `re just not Asian enough. (See Hollywood Shuffle)But when it`s come to Power Rangers, from my perspective as someone who isn`t Asian, I think the show has presented more positive characters and roles from people with Asian backgrounds than almost ANY show.

I could say that about my own people too, to a certain extent. Except that I don`t get why ever since Ethan left the scene Disney seems to think in order to be "black" you must talk slick, wear dreads/cornrows and hit on women.

This show I think has done more good for this world than people are willing to give it credit for, providing strong role models and going against social stereotypes being the the most commendable.
