ghettican

Someone who is Mexican/Hispanic and tries to act ghetto, i.e., wearing sagging shorts and airbrushed t-shirts, listening to one's music ten times louder than need be, and wearing a fake grill at least twice a week.

That guy's such a ghettican- I can hear his music while listening to my iPod!

ghettoize

The opposite of de-ghettoize, refers to the vast influx of poor bad minorities into inner-city neighborhoods that were left to rot by rich white people; later the rich white people realized they missed their cities and began a process of de-ghettoization, which consisted mostly of "running the Richard C. Lee Memorial Highway through it."

That mall really helped ghettoize downtown.
