Oliver says in the documentary that “none of us [were] thinking stereotypes” when these casting decisions were originally made, which is why the show ran for two seasons with “the Black character the Black Ranger and the Asian character the Yellow Ranger.” It wasn’t until “my assistant pointed it out in a meeting one day” that Oliver realized these castings were upholding stereotypes. Oliver added: “It was such a mistake.”

That's how you know you're White. Even my young child ass immediately noticed how racist that shit was without any education on the subject.

We didn’t grow up in the same environment that exists in America with regard to skin color. We grew up in Israel, where being a Black person is like being any kind of color. It’s not something we talked about all the time. It wasn’t a big issue.”

I have a followup question...

Haim Saban is a massive Zionist. It wasn't his decision alone. Also major briber.

Have fun reading that wiki.

Power Rangers was made by Israelis? wtf.

Being black is no big issue in israel which is why you were about the only country to support apartheid SA when everyone else turned on them

Israelis saying that being Black has no social stigma in Israel. So is everyone sterilized there?

Tangentially related, but I was at the Phoenix Comicon when a guy snuck in with a bunch of guns and dressed as the punisher to try to assassinate the green power ranger. If I'm remembering correctly he had a calendar event in his phone to kill him lmao.

Despite being the faces of the show, Trang, St. John, Jones, and their costars Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, and Jason David Frank saw virtually none of that money. "One of the things Saban said was, 'Look, I'm giving them the chance to become stars.'

"We were broke," St. John bluntly explained, detailing extremely low pay on the non-union production and salaries that left them in need of second jobs, despite an exceedingly demanding shooting schedule. The trio were fired from the show after Trang's speech, a decision that wasn't ever directly communicated to the rest of the cast and crew.
