Was it offensive that Zack was Black Ranger?
Its an interesting question given his race. But Ranger Colors aren't really supposed to be about that.

I don't think they ever intended to offend anyone. So a Black Ranger can't be Aferican American?

Well they had plenty of Black Rangers of multple ethnic groups since then. So I really can't blame them for doing it once. Its not like any color has been exclusive to any race. And nor should any be.

I don't think it was really a big deal. We got Adam as MMPR black longer than Zack anyway.

I do think they were probably mindful of the fact that they shouldn't replace Zack with another African American Actor. I do think they like to change up the ethinc groups from year to year anyway. Which makes sense.

I was really proud when TJ became the first Aferican American Red and leader of the Turbo Rangers.

It didn't feel mean spirited at all. Zack was always treated like a quality character.

Most people consider Adam the MMPR Black Ranger anyway.

Re: Was it offensive that Zack was Black Ranger?
I don't think Zack being Black was meant to be offensive obviously it could be construe that way but I don't think that's what they intended.
Quote:
please don't be delusional by most people you just mean pretty much you. Zack is generally seen by the masses as MMPR Black due to nostalgia regardless of whether people even know about Adam or not. More fans see Adam as a Zeo Ranger than anything else. |
