As many of us know, the casts of Power Rangers are some of the most diverse around. Multiple races have member in the hero community that are power rangers. After seeing this picture on Morphicon's Facebook page, it got me to thinking...  We still have yet to get a Black 6th Ranger. As of now, we have one series coming up, Dino Fury, and 5 potential series w/ ToQ, Zyuoh, Kyu, LuPat, Kirama. Which series do other think would be a good one to premiere the 1st Black 6th ranger? Personally, I think Zyuoh since the suit is so badass. And Kyu seems like it will have a Doggie Kruger situation. |

personally i dont think it really matters what ethnic is what ever ranger. As we have had diverse casts all over the franchise. Now sure first non white red or pink ranger did take awhile to happen. But overall i dont think is a problem what ever ranger color is what ever actor who is picked for x series.

Oh, I don't think it's a problem. Not at all. Would just be cool to see black 6th ranger as well. I don't think most people wanna see ethnic repeating like LG-LR or Sam-MF, though.

I would also like to see a Asian be red we haven't had yet. But diversity always been one of the best things franchise has had over other shows. Minus the whole debacle back in the day black guy black and Asian playing yellow deal.

Hollywood really needs to take notes from how PR handles diversity.

I've met the voice of Static. Great guy! And the fact that he remembers me whenever we see each other at Awesome Con is pretty cool!
With my original teams, I always try to have various ethnicities. The Red Ranger of some of my teams are different races. Black, Latino & Asian! All named after great guys I know. Including a former co-worker who looked like Akon! The Red Ranger of my tenth team is Puerto Rican! I'm even writing an episode about racism in high school for the series! I was inspired by an old sitcom.

At first I thought this was just a Power Rangers picture. Then I saw the Spider-Man character. Then Static. Then the Green Lantern. I'd be all for a black 6th ranger.

Yes but that isn't a real deal season show. But ya as great as diversity has been it's funny we haven't had a Asian as red yet. More so we should have at least in samurai or steel would have made some story sense. But beyond that the franchise has been pretty good.

People, we had an Asian Red Ranger: Nick Russel, from Mystic Force. The actor is descendant of Lebanon parents (He is Australian). Lebanon is in ASIA.
(I dunno this obsession for "every race had to be in everything", geez)

^I still think he was passed off as white through his character, like what happened with Azim Rizk.

He may have been part Asian. But I think folks would like a full Asian actor as red.

No, though he seemed to me as though he could pass for an Italian. |
