These do not technically exist within the American Region no matter how hard people try to convince you they do. An "American ghetto" is very tame where they sell drugs some murders ect. A real ghetto has thousands of murders, houses made from trash, 3 legged dogs running wild and all of the above. Take a look at the slums of Kingston Jamaica, India, Pakistan, Iraq, South America, Mexico, and Russia! Stop trying to act so poor and ghetto you retards.

Textbooks will usually describe the word "ghetto" as a place where a minority group dominates. Unfortunately these cities and towns of living are often run down with a high crime rate. That is part of the reason Martin Luthe King addressed the problems of African Americans being forced from a "smaller ghetto to a larger one." In pop culture terms it often refers to bad living areas (whether minority groups dominate or not) and things that are of low quality.

50 Cent: I grew up in the ghetto! Why do you think I am a rapper?
Alex Trebec: Why are my shows ratings getting to be so low? My show is not that ghetto!
Jessica Simpson: My black friends are not welcome on the farm. This run down country town is ghetto!

poor/urban person, place, or thing;
originated from German language not the blacks
so if another race than blacks says ghetto
doesn't mean their trying to be black,
in fact, no ones trying to be black they are just under the gangsta influence of their own race (ex.AZN, chicos, whites, pros)
