Where the **** are the latinos, asians and all the others that are mixed into the melting pot of NYC?

It was the 90s, bro. The Black Ranger was black, the Yellow Ranger was asian, and minorities on TV were a nice idea. It was like the last decade where "popular racism" was still cringe-inducingly prevalent in non-marginalized or divisive areas.
