Most people won't be interested about this thread, but whatever, I have a question out of curiosity: in O.C. there's that guy Bryan, who comes from Chino, and this place is depicted as a tough ghetto, more or less the same as Compton, Crenshaw, Watts and South Central are depicted in those gangsta movies from the 90's (Boyz in da hood etc...).
So a couple of minutes ago I came by some stats about Chino and to my surprise, I noticed that the median wage, household income and house values are significatively higher not only than the U.S. average, but also than California average! And, even more noticeably, the crime rate is EXTREMELY low, with 1999, 2000 and 2004 without a single murder within city limits and the years inbetween and following with not more than 2-3 homicides per year!
What I'd like to know is, why the show producers have chosen Chino as the place where the tough problematic kid comes from and show this place as a dangerous ghetto, while it's not at all like that and seems more like a relaxed suburb? Maybe to underline how snobby people in Newport Beach are? Or maybe they just didn't know that Chino was actually a safe place?
