It would take no effort to produce cites for definitions of "ghetto"
that go beyond the "common" understanding of it here. But why bother?

Used in common, modern conversation (or writing) I'll betcha 99 out of
100 people with degrees in English would define a "ghetto" as being an
economically depressed area populated primarily by a minority group.
You are probably the only lib arts major on the planet that tries to
put another meaning on the word ... and only when you are losing an
argument.
Harry's definition pretty much went away with the Crystal Night and the
Jewish Ghettos.
No tow job...
