A very valid point selfinflicted.

The word ghetto has become linked with poverty, crime, joblessness, deteriorated housing, rampant drug activity, and shattered families. The popular hip-hop movement recaptured the term "ghetto," along with its negative connotations, from the mainstream and reinvested it as a symbol of black culture and it has become used in the titles or a number of popular songs. And it now used with to denote black pride and authenticity.

Science used the term as a badge of pride associated with the hip-hop culture.
