why wasn't there an asian animorph?

[OrcaMorph]

Ah! Thank you. Well, now I feel stupid.

[XenomorphLV426]

Because they didn't happen to be friends with an Asian kid who just happened to randomly hook up with them at the mall that particular night?

Oh, silly K.A.  U b tha racistz.

[Chad32]

I'm surprised a mighty morphing power rangers joke wasn't made. I had my character make one in the RPG I'm in. Maybe KA wasn't familiar with the series.

I don't know if the first season of Power Rangers was racist, or if they just did it to help the fans remember the characters. Like how they all wore the same colored shirts as well. The red ranger wore a red shirt, ect. when he wasn't in his suit.

GO GO POWER RANGERS!

politically correct

I don't believe in "PC", but I believe that's it's best for society if teams and characters in books, movies, TV shows, etc. are demographically representative of thier setting.
Of course that could just be my realism bias showing.

True.  And there are a lot of Asians in California, so...xD

I don't really care about that though, it's not as if it would have made an OMG HUGE difference in the story if Tobias or whoever had been Asian.

[esplin]

yeah it really wouldnt have changed much of the story

ooo
rachel = asian = all my fantasies complete

[XenomorphLV426]

Rachel can't be Asian.    She's not precise and methodical and scientific and careful.  Rachel's more like an angry Norseman or something.

[morfowt]

Careful? Asians? I can tell you right now, the other kids in my shcool are anything but careful.

Haha...Haha...Yeah, a mom has a temper like Rachel. She's asian.

It doesn't really seem like it matters what race any of the Animorphs were, they were just the Animorphs...Yeah.

[XenomorphLV426]

Amen.

[Starsword]

I'm pretty sure the whole point of Animorphs were that the kids were just kids without having to file them under categories. They could have been poor kids from the projects or rich kids from the Hamptons, it wouldn't affect the story. Except alter Marco's life slightly.

[XenomorphLV426]

Ghetto Animorphs would have been rad.

[Tim Bruening]

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.

I'm assuming that there are no Asian Animorphs because no Asians happened to wander through the construction site the night Elfangor landed!  (A mere matter of chance).

I do find it amazing that one of the kids who wandered through the construction site at the right time just happened to be Elfangor's son, and that another kid just happened to be Visser One's son!
