‘ghetto’ and ‘hood rat’ have a different connotation when referring to a black person

Maybe "uneducated" is a bit harsh, but she's certainly ignorant and uninformed.
She stated that the Flint water crisis hasn't been fixed is because most of the people there are black, which is just wrong. The lead pipes were laid decades ago, and the plans are lost; to find them, a lot of the city would need to be dug up, damaging roads, pavements, and the pipes which are okay. Not to mention the huge amount of money it would cost, for a poor area. |

And I'm not stupid I know subtle racism exists ,and I'm allowed my opinion . I don't even like James Jordan but I don't think he's being racist. If anything it's more because she's American so maybe you could say xenophobic but even then it's a stretch , he did joke to Stacy in his year of CBB that he didn't understand her humour because she's "American" . |

I think some people who have been educated still act ignorant though. |

Would he have called Kirstie a ghetto girl if she misunderstood and thought another housemate had thought up a task? |

I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that . Kirstie alley isn't famous for having physical brawls and spitting in people's face while screaming and pulling hair and rolling in dirt and bushes ,but whatever let's pretend Natalie is as innocent as her surname .

Not at all.
Some people can coast through education without actually leaving their bubble and learning about life beyond the paper. |

And I think Ghetto has now become universal (yes it's American), but in pop culture when someone is loud and combative then they can be labelled "Ghetto" |

Are you justifying racial slurs because she's not a particularly nice girl? |

I've never seen a white person be described as Ghetto so it can only be racial in my opinion.

So Natalie's behaviour invites the phrase? The phrase is racist. |

Yes but Natalie was selectively offended by Uber jokes but didn't say anything to Rodrigo about his n words.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement , surely you're stereotyping by assuming only one particular race is referred to as "ghetto" .

The way I see it the word Ghetto has become a general insult for someone loud and argumentative and it came across the pond . Last edited by GoldHeart; 19-08-2018 at 10:45 PM. |
