raybear | That's so ghetto.

Shut the fck up. Please don't say such stupid isht around me, ignorant bastards. I don't understand this new phenomenon where a bunch of white middle- and upper- class clueless mthafcker's deem something as "ghetto" because they find something to be 'lower-class', 'cheap', 'classless', 'low-class', 'trashy', 'run-down', or whatever other offensive adjective.

Over the weekend, someone described a hotel room she stayed in near Death Valley as "ghetto" because it was old, dirty, smelly, the bed had 3 legs and there were bats in the room. I loudly informed her that that was far from ghetto because there are no fcking bats in the fcking ghetto. Know why? Because "ghettos" are urban. At least get the terminology correct. I probably wouldn't care as much if they actually got if fcking right. If I showed up drinking a pink slushie that I got to counteract my blue mouth from a blowpop and you call my ass "ghetto", I would probably laugh and not care as much. But it's still problematic. So just don't fcking say it. Think before you speak. Quit co-opting isht that isn't yours and trivializing it.
