Pretty weak. Ghetto still means a place where Jews or poor people live. The fact that a few rappers embraced the term does not change the meaning ... unless you think "nigga" is now OK since Larry Wilmore called the president "my nigga". There are plenty of references that expand the meaning of ghetto beyond what you think it means. Point is, in normal conversation or writing, even by the "highly educated" ... "Ghetto" has only one normally used meaning. === Careful, Harry will hit you with the full twenty volume issue of his OED. |
