Hmmm, yeah ok. Since a ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group are concentrated, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure. Ghettos are often known for being more impoverished than other areas of the city. I see what you meant without saying it.

Ghettos don't have to be made up of minorities. There are poor people of all types. The leftists just like to race bait with garbage like what you said.

Ghetto refers to trashiness, dirtiness, and squalor. In this context, it refers to the quality of the art, not the people who live in the ghetto. The artist is a Jewish woman who grew up in the suburbs of Lansing, a daughter of professors, and lives in a $>1 million home. She is obviously not from the ghetto per your definition.

Have you geniuses ever tried searching the definition of the word in every major dictionary? Do you know the origin? I think you do not. I'm not going to read into anyone's statement but the word has had the same meaning for over 100 years and it absolutely does imply a minority concentration.

I suggest you make an appointment with a mental health professional such as a psychiatrist at your earliest convenience.

I’m not sure what your major malfunction is. I didn’t say anything other than correct someone’s misinterpretation of the definition of the word ghetto which every English language dictionary agrees on.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ghetto
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/...english/ghetto
https://www.oed.com/search/dictionar...tries&q=Ghetto
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ghetto

What’s your favorite? Webster? Cambridge? Oxford?

Of course a bunch of psychos like you have to come ruin this thread.
