I grew up white and damned poor in Washington Heights, and had the privilege of getting my ass kicked on a regular basis for not being the right race. Are there any white people in the movie?
shareYour neighbors should have been rounded up and shot. Or prosecuted for hate crimes
shareExcept, the simple presumption of a persons action based on the color of their skin, is racist in itself. Maybe this guy is just an asshole,and it has nothing to do with race?
shareI'm sure they were in the alleys getting their asses kicked. Maybe it's in the outtakes.
shareLmao!!
shareWhites getting their asses kicked by minorities is definitely a problem. It's good to see you be willing to discuss the reality of racism perpetrated towards whites by non whites, which gets totally overlooked by the news and social media for fear of being labeled racist. Its a real problem that is dividing our country.
shareThis film is no accurate portrayal of Washington Heights. It's what they want people to see so they can be like "oh wow these hispanic communities are just so lovely! White people just treat them bad for no reason but they are all so great." It's a very Disney portrayal of the Heights (and its not even a Disney movie)
shareYou're probably right
shareThey're buying drugs near 173rd
shareAt the Port Authority?
shareA short walk, north/east, from there. The proximity to the bridge is intentional. Those NJ plates flow in across the GWB, slow down, pick up, and drive back across the bridge to NJ. The police sweep there now and then. They know what's going on.
shareThe 34th precinct was always a rough place, and its cops always had to walk a tightrope. More now than ever, I expect.
