Oh, I don't have a problem with Trump saying ghetto. I'm with you, what word is so specific? I actually didn't know it was politically incorrect. I just thought it was out of fashion.
But I have a big problem with the use of ghetto as an adjective. I can't stand it. It's quite racist.

Language is a living thing and you are fighting against the tide, hal. You should reexamine your concept of using words "properly."

I get a bit tired of words that are being used properly, but have been deemed as carrying a bad connotation.
I have a good friend that HATES it every time I use the word 'hate'. (eyes rolling). I find all of this to be in the same category as Participant ribbons.
So is there a word to replace ghetto that means the same as ghetto and if so, why is THAT acceptable?
It's only a bad connotation if you pretend that ghettos don't exist
because of racism.
