The Jets are an all white gang. The Jets had fought away many over gangs over the years to keep their turf, and the peurto ricans moved to the united states and took their claim to it, so the two gangs are constinatly fighting over it. The Jets are sons (and daughters) of polish immigrants and so are not truly Ameicans, this is picked up by the Sharks referring to them as "pol" wich annoys the jets. The Jets are proud and quick to anger, they are frustrated with the constant battle for "Turf" and have lost sight of reality, they are no longer little boys, they need to get a job and Doc reminds them of this. The Jets movements are angular and have a western mod look as they dance in a 1950s style, they dance with straight backs and with little flair in a Cunningham contemporary style.
