What's funny is right before they changed costumes with ZEO, they gave Tommy a Native American ancestor and then he became the red ZEO ranger.

Tommy is white... White ranger. Tommy discovers he is like 1/32 Native American... suddenly becomes Red ranger.

Honestly, that is pretty par for the course. Go get that ethnic minority scholarship you slightly-less-than-totally-white guy.
