That would be ideal, but it seem that "ghettoness" is a disease that is spreading even to the white folks.
My small town is gettting bigger, so I am overrun by them.

I kinda have to see it every which way.
You see, I am mixed. My dad came from the big city of Philly, PA and he's black. (but not ghetto.) My mom is white and deaf. So it is easy to relate to people in different situations. I like "MexiCANS" but sometimes it gets annoying when you can't understand a word they say because they speak their other language just to leave you out of the conversation.

Ummmm, these comments you two are making seem a little racist to me. Implying "ghettones" or whatever is something that one race is confined to.
TB, I'm sorry that a certain group of people terrorize your neighborhood, but really, don't judge an entire culture by one group of idiots.

we still have ghettos, we just call them "urban areas of influence"

We are not being racist. It is a slang discription. The blacks use it towards themselves and the white who tend to act that way.
I would hate to be racist though, so I will stop. Promise.

I have Mexican friends as well. I was just using Bane's term. I am not racist, nor do i wish to offend anyone. I am sure Bane didn't mean anything by it either.

It's kinda ironic how the more I say I'm not racist, the more it appears so. EDIT: Thank you, Spock! You mods, always can explain things simply! That's two paragraphs summed up into one short phrase! Bravo!

It's a patronizing phrase of ages past. In today's society, I've no idea how it is perceived.
