Black Ranger Walter Emanuel Jones reacts to writer calling Black and Yellow Power Rangers casting 'a mistake': "It wasn’t a mistake; it was a milestone."

Black Ranger Walter Emanuel Jones weighed in on a 'Power Rangers' writer calling the potentially problematic casting of Black and Yellow Ranger 'a mistake': 'It wasn't a mistake; it was a milestone.'

Oliver and more creatives looked back on the crafting of the show and the casting in the Power Rangers episode of Investigation Discovery's new docuseries, Hollywood Demons. "None of us are thinking stereotypes," Oliver, the program's former head writer, said in the episode of Jones and Trang's casting, adding that it was his assistant who pointed out the potentially problematic nature of it during a meeting one day. He also echoed a tidbit shared by Oliver in the docuseries, that Latina actress Audri Dubois had been cast as Yellow Ranger in the pilot but departed the show due to a pay dispute.
