there is some cultural significance thats lost in the remake where originally both the sharks and the jets are 2nd class citizens where as now only the pueto ricans are held back by racism and the irish are not. its a bit irksome to have this important historical truth scrubbed from the film but i dont think anyone involved was prepared to have an honest conversation about the cultural significance of assimilation so they elected to just have the irish have white privilege instead but whatever. its standard modern perception even if it does an entire culture a disservice.
