The premise

Here’s the bit.

The Power Falcons launch a coordinated attack on a giant robot menacing the city. Their color-coded teamwork breaks down when the other pilots repeatedly call Green Falcon by a racial nickname instead of his actual designation. His requests to use the correct name bring increasingly patronizing responses, while a reversal exposes the team's double standard. The battle continues with one member unwilling to stay in formation.

Green Falcon
Well, here's the issue is that you're going to give me an order, I'm not going to know you're talking to me, because I'm not in a black falcon.
