Why is this called Sunset Park?


Sunset Park is a predominately Hispanic and Asian neighborhood in Brooklyn. The fact that this high school and community is depicted as mostly black is just inaccurate.

Yea and the movie was made 20 years ago, figure it out.

reply

There were never many black people in the Sunset Park neighborhood, even "20 years ago." It went white, to Hispanic, to Asian, all mixed together at the present time.

Did you think it was based on a true story? It's a movie.

YOU implied that it was a real depiction of the neighborhood 20 years ago.

reply

No, I'm saying you were talking about 50 years ago which is pretty much irrelevant. If it was the same 20 years ago then that's much more relevant and that's what you should've said. Idk what it was like or not. It's a movie though not supposed to be factual or anything.
