      Romeo, Juliet and Darkness (1960) is a Czech film about a Jewish woman who is hidden from the Gestapo by her student lover.

      Butterfly Lovers gets called a Romeo+Juliet story despite being decided about a rich family and a poor one. It's about class difference.

      Torn Apart (1990) is apparently about an Israeli Jewish man falls in love with a Palestinian woman.

      The anime Romeo x Juliet, set in Neo Verona after Capulets won & Juliet is a masked vigilante rebelling against oppressive Capulet rule

      Malorie Blackman's excellent Noughts & Crosses was once described to me as a Romeo&Juliet story, despite power differences in their status.

      This isn't even to say any of these stories/retellings are themselves bad (though some of them indeed are awful).

      But we need to stop using Romeo&Juliet as shorthand for oppression and racial hatred and segregation and inequality.

      Or at least if we are drawing on R&J for motifs and inspiration, remember the source material's hatred is decidedly not about oppression.

      West Side Story is an interesting take on this. Its argument is that both groups are underprivileged, and essentially fighting over scraps.

      You could argue with that, since the Jets are white and the Sharks are Puerto-rican. But within the play both are portrayed as subaltern.

      Yeah there's the tense moment when Officer Krupke tried to claim he and the Jets are on the same side and they reject him

          I think the main difference is that the Jets already have the option to get out, whereas the Sharks don't, or at least not yet.
