      Context is: “Hey honey, the clown cancelled for little Bobby’s 4th birthday, do you want me to call the White Power Ranger to replace them?”

    Guy, there’s the Black Power Ranger and the Yellow Power Ranger, with a black guy and an Asian girl respectively.

    They knew.

      One time a coworker was randomly talking about something sexual so I said “that’s racy of you” she screams “DON’T CALL ME RACIST!”. I said “that’s not what racy means” she replied with “I DON’T CARE!” and stormed off

      He was.

      I remember only because at the time they were advertising that the green power ranger would be getting a power upgrade and I said to my older brother that I bet he would become the white power ranger (not being aware of the connotations at the time, nor anything else other than the kid’s show).

      He said that wasn’t possible. How would they display the trademark white diamonds, he asked? It still boggles my mind that that was his only reasoning.
