> Is 'ghetto' racist? What would be a better word insted?
It is not a word we use in this context in the UK, I think, because ghetto for us doesn't mean what it means in the US, it means Jewish ghetto in WW2, i.e. it's a word we only come across in history classes.
But what does it mean? What are you trying to convey by using that word?
