(no subject)
This is just raw data. I'm surveying the seasons just so that I have a reference to come back to as to who was on what season. If you know I've missed something, or have a theory to expound, go right ahead.
Note: I'm skipping Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed, Time Force, and Wild Force (Seasons 7-10) because I've never seen any of it.
Where the character's ethnicity is never mentioned, and they're clearly not White, I'm hitting up IMDB for the actor's ethnicity. This will be marked. Similarly, if the actor is White but somehow Other (like in the case of aliens) it will be marked.
There's way more to what I'm trying to put into words than just a list of what ethnicities people are, this is just a cheat sheet so I don't accidentally say someone's white when they're not (and... you know, in case my flisters are curious because they haven't seen the show in years.)

First thing I noticed, writing this out? There hasn't yet been an Asian Red Ranger, or a Black Sixth Ranger ("Sixth Ranger" being the term for the Rangers outside of the standard five-person sentai team). Odd.
