Fobby[GEN] wrote on Sat, 13 January 2007 16:49]The word ghetto is not slang... its a real word according to the dictionary. It doesn't mean neighbourhood either.

Here's the meaning from dictionary.com :

1. a section of a city, esp. a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships.
2. (formerly, in most European countries) a section of a city in which all Jews were required to live.
3. a section predominantly inhabited by Jews.
4. any mode of living, working, etc., that results from stereotyping or biased treatment: job ghettos for women; ghettos for the elderly.

So from these meanings, we gather that its a densely populated slum (poor part of a city) which mostly contains 1 culture of people, namely (but not necessarily) Jews.

Know your words before you use them.

Damn, you beat me to it.


whoa.
