[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a black person, I can’t figure out why you guys think the word ghetto is racist. OP isn’t referring to low income black people, is she? Or do you think the word should be reserved for black people? I do t get it. I think it’s pretty commonly known to mean low class. Stop focusing on this; it’s silly.[/quote] Ghetto as a noun is not used for low SES white community spaces, but minority community spaces, so it is not just about “low class”. Historically not just Black Americans, but Jews in other times in history, etc. Ghetto as an adjective has become a pejorative way to point out characteristics of something or someone — characteristics that are stereotypically associated with Black culture or are racist tropes about Black culture and people.
