Yup, the old meaning of ghetto has been washed away.


No, it is still there, but the meanings have expanded. Language is fluid.


It is still there, but the old meaning just is not used these days in
normal communication. Maybe you should have taken some better courses.

I am surprised that "mr politically correct" is so sanguine about
people making light of the holocaust.


Who is making light of the holocaust? The fact that the word "ghetto"
has expanded in meaning doesn't lessen the horror of the holocaust. And
besides, the word "ghetto" predates the Nazi holocaust by hundreds of
years.
