I'd like to think that for people that say it with their friends, supposing they are ghettos or whatnot, they would say it at them when they did something stupid and they would probably be alright with it. If it was a random person however, I could see them getting offended and probably pissed.
Really it depends on who you're friends with and if it's alright to say it to them, but I wouldn't call it a safe word either.

I don't understand why the ghetto is a black thing all of the sudden because it was a Jewish thing originally.

Why can black people call each other mondays all the time but we whites can't? You don't see us calling ourselves "cracka" all the time.

Are you that handicapped holy christ

The majority of people in ghettos are black and Jewish ghettos aren't remotely similar to modern ghettos

The term "ghetto" is Italian and it referred to the section of Venice where all the Jews lived.
How about you check your facts before calling people handicapped.

We're talking about modern times though, not back 100 years.

Yes, but people don't seem to understand where the word even comes from.

Because the way it's used nowadays is incorrect?

The term "ghetto" is Italian and it referred to the section of Venice where all the Jews lived.

the reason why this term is used in the modern day is because modern "ghettos" mirror the conditions that original Italian Jewish ghettos used to have - run down, poor, economically ignored and commonly filled with large sets of prejudiced people.

so red spy is wrong about saying that "italian ghettos aren't remotely similar to modern ghettos," but there is no real need for clarification. they have similar meanings today as 100 years ago.

edit: this is also a subject about how language evolves. the modern usage isn't "incorrect" because the word evolved to the definition i described above.

Words evolve. 3rd world used to mean counties that weren't allied with the US or USSR but now it means countries synonymous with stuffhole
