why wasn't there an asian animorph?

[wolfev]

Stupid I know, but if you think about the rest of the group was P.C. You have Cassie who is Black, Marco who is described as Brown, Rachel is half jewish. Tobias and Jake are just white. Shouldn't tobias have been asian to even things out.

[Chad32]

Marco is Hispanic, and Jake is Jewish.

You can't have a member of every race, without having a bunch of different members of the group.

I'm not sure if Rachel is full Jewish, or half Caucasian.

[Terenia]

Rachel's dad is Jewish. I don't think her mom is, and I don't think either of her parents are particularly religious in any way.

Jakes family does perform a prayer before dinner, but thats the only insight into religion we get in their household (from Ax, in #8).

I think if you stuck an asian Ani in there it would become almost too P.C. Suddenly the Animorphs would look an awful lot like the Power Rangers.

Granted, Tuan/Timmy was Asian and he was an auxilary Animorph.

[wolfev]

Yea it would be P.C. but then we could make Captain Aximilli jokes. He's already blue. And if they were the power rangers you know that Cassie would be the black ranger because that show was as racist as it was p.c. Marco would probably look good in spandex.

[morfowt]

um...the first season was probably a little racist, but the later season don't seem racist to me. there was a black red ranger, an asian pink ranger, an asian blue ranger, a black green ranger...

[wolfev]

yea, I wonder why K.A. never made a power rangers joke. It just seems exactly like the thing that Marco would say. I can just see him bringing everyone down to a power rangers stereotype and Rachel beating on him for probably calling her the pink ranger. Marco was the blue ranger, Jake was the red, Cassie was the black, Tobias was the green and Ax was the yellow. I forget if there were any other rangers. I would have liked to see Elfangor in the great and powerful Oz tube as zordon was. My God I know too much about this crap.

[morfowt]

there are a total of...11 different colors so far.

red, yellow, blue
green, pink, black, white
silver, violet, crimson, navy

[wolfev]

Well they are the mighty MORPHING Animorphs

[morfowt]

what's your point?

[Yarin]

lol lets just try to remember this is an animorphs forum not power rangers

[Yorick Brown]

What an ignorant thing to say. Balance things out? How condescending towards minorities.

Applegate didn't feel like putting an Asian character so she carried that out. Simple as that. Why? It's none of your business.

[AniDragon]

The same reason I don't have an Asian character in one of my own stories. "Just 'cause".

And the reason I have a Hispanic character? 'Cause I like the name Eva.

There's no real reason for the races of your characters unless your intentionally trying to be P.C., in which case it's usually completely obvious that your trying too hard. Characters should just come to you, and sometimes their Asian, sometimes their Black, sometimes their Hispanic, and sometimes their Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, or Goblins. *shrugs*

I was thinking more on the lines of Captain Planet.

[OrcaMorph]

Okay, obviously I can gather what PC means from context, but could someone tell me what it actually stands for?

[RYTX]

politically correct
