Overview
When cops Schmidt and Jenko join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover as high school students. They trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, and set out to shut down a dangerous drug ring. But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.

Primary
21 Jump Street is primarily a comedic satire of action movie tropes and high school dynamics, focusing on personal growth and friendship rather than promoting a specific political ideology. It consciously balances or subverts traditional themes without a clear political agenda.
The movie '21 Jump Street' includes visible diversity within its supporting cast, though its primary protagonists are white males without explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, with its humor stemming from character-specific situations rather than a critique of these identities, and DEI themes are not central to the plot.
Secondary
The film incorporates comedic elements where the protagonists' bond is mistaken for a gay relationship, generating humor from their reactions and the misinterpretations of others. While these instances are present, they do not centralize or deeply explore LGBTQ+ identity, nor do they overtly affirm or denigrate it, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
21 Jump Street does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its plot or character development. The film's comedic narrative centers on high school undercover operations, with no elements related to transgender identity present.
The film features several female characters, but none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Their roles do not involve direct physical confrontations that meet the specified criteria.
The 2012 film introduces new protagonists and supporting characters, rather than recasting established legacy characters from the original series with actors of a different gender. Original characters who cameo retain their canonical gender.
The 2012 film "21 Jump Street" introduces new main characters, Morton Schmidt and Greg Jenko, rather than recasting established characters from the original series with different races. The role of the police captain, while a different character name, maintains the same racial portrayal as the original series' captain. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
