In the original power rangers, the red ranger was Native American. The black ranger was black and danced. The yellow ranger was oriental. The pink ranger was the prettiest and white and a gal (to this day I can not remember the pink ranger not being white?) and the blue ranger was a boy. The white ranger was white.

I mean out of all of the colors to choose from. The power rangers ended up being the colors that represented their race or the colors that represented their gender.

How do you think this came about?
Is it by chance the first rangers happen to have the color that represented their race or gender?

Rangers regularly operate in teams of five, with a special sixth Ranger frequently joining the team part way into the series; sometimes a core team of three will later be joined by additional Rangers. Each Ranger's suit and energy spectrum will match a specific color, with red, yellow, and blue being joined by some combination of pink, green, black, or white. Rangers may be named after their respective colors, such as Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, etc., but numbers or other names may also be used. There is usually no more than one Ranger of a given color on a team, but exceptions of this rule are generally given alternate names (in Time Force, there were two Rangers with red-colored costumes; the first was the Red Time Force Ranger, the second was the Quantum Ranger). Each team's costumes are nearly identical aside from color, helmet design (most notably the shape of the opaque visor) and perhaps a numerical designation. Any additional Rangers will regularly have additional costume modifications, usually some form of additional armor.

The Rangers' color designation also influences their wardrobe throughout the series, as their civilian clothing is often the same color as their Ranger color. This correlation was joked about in Dino Thunder when Tommy Oliver (a former Green Ranger, White Ranger, and twice a Red Ranger) became the new Black Dino Range

It's considered racist to refer to people as certain colors. People are people not colors. Those who are ignorant of the past are bound to repeat it. Also, Asians are not referred to as orientals.
