It’s not N-word offensive. Obviously. But it is code word.

Do I say it? Yep. Do I look around before I say it? Yep.

There used to be a white ghetto off Flannery but I think it's mainly blacks and Mexicans now

Isn't Central Woods a white ghetto?

It most certainly is if barrio would be a more appropriate choice.

Yup. I remember getting mad when our neighbors in Sherwood moved to BRCC and called our neighborhood the ghetto. Mind you this was over 25 years ago and in the nice part of SF.

At the ethnic hodgepodge that is my work? Damn right.

BTW my boss is not watching the NFL this year. Not because they are kneeling either. It’s for why they kneel. Just to give my work environment some context.
