When a black person or Latino says that, it is an agressive term.
How do I know?
I read this and watch for the use of ghetto:-
Hunter had reached third after two stolen bases, and on a chopper to Alex Rodriguez, he charged to the plate. Hunter was out easily and he did not slide, colliding hard with the catcher.
After the play, Hunter tripped on a bat and stumbled into Rodriguez as he walked toward the mound. Rodriguez stuck out his glove — to try to shake Hunter free, he said — and bumped Hunter on the side. Hunter responded with a two-handed lunge at Rodriguez’s back that sent him staggering forward.
“He pushed me pretty hard, like a fight in the hood,” Hunter said. “The ghetto came out. I hate that. I want to apologize to the fans.”
Rodriguez reacted angrily to the push, throwing off his mask and confronting Hunter, missing as he tried to swat him with an open palm. The benches and bullpens emptied, but there were no punches.
It was just a high-energy distraction in another dreary Yankees loss, and the combatants had made up by the end of the game. Hunter and Rodriguez met in the lobby between the clubhouses and made peace.
