Let’s not forget that the native guy was the red ranger

And the white boy and girl were blue and pink respectively.

God it was so fucking obnoxious to play Power Rangers in kindergarten. “You’re a giiiiirrrrlll, so you have to be the pink ranger.”

Can we play Warrior Cats instead? I get to be Fireheart, you have to be Tigerclaw.

Jason was Native? Pretty sure Tommy was Native in the canon (confirmed when they are seeking the Zeo Crystals), but I don't recall Jason ever being identified as Native. Although Tommy did then become the Red Zeo Ranger, so that's not great. Is that what you were referring to?
