Is the word "ghetto" inherently racist? My roommate seems to think so, asked that I stop using it. What are your thoughts?

Your roommate sounds like an idiot. =p The word is merely descriptive of a particular type of neighborhood, and without it you can't get that particular concept across. Acknowledging reality isn't racist.
