Oh wow are we really debating this

like no matter what you interpret 'ghetto' to mean it CANNOT be denied that James Jordan meant it in a racist way I won't be challenged on this

always got that impression from him tbh,

he really kept pouncing at every opportunity to call Hannah and Debs aggressive during BB18.

also, on launch night for CBB19, he was adamant that Stacy had to be the one "edited out" and wouldn't even consider anyone else

It's almost as though he's... uneducated trash

Natalie is educated, and I love that she speaks out for BLM, the Flint water crisis, and against Trump.. but sis never heard of satire before???????? maybe it's an American thing?

The Americans have a completely different sense of humour and I don't think they get satire or sarcasm...mind you I find Kirstie very funny with her sarcasm.

It comes across cold and blunt to me rather than funny, but i'm glad someone can enjoy it

welp he blocked me for replying with Ghetto!??

I don't think James is racist for using the word ghetto unless he's only ever used it to refer to a black person (which idk and I won't assume one way or another).

It's like when a black or white person says "I grew up in the ghetto" they're NOT saying they grew up in a black neighborhood. They're talking about the environment, the lifestyle, usually the crime rates and poverty that they grew up in. And people get tough/abrasive/etc. personalities in that situation and that's what the term has come to describe.

It's associated to the way people act OR where they're from and I've seen it used a ton for all races... white, black, asian, etc.

I don't think it's clever enough or funny enough to be labelled "satire".

But, yes, it seems to be a kind of attempt at it.

Not only is she educated but she knows how to act around it. She's not stupid, she knows what she is doing and she felt uncomfortable and spoke about it
Natalie a few years ago would have went wild already but she aged since. She talked about what she felt openly and that was a good thing to do. She keeps it real, whether you agree or not.
