I was under the impression that "ghetto" is any kind of ethnic trash other than Anglo or Celtic (that would be "white trash").
For example, Chinatown is "ghetto," unless it's a Chinatown in the suburbs, where homes are like $500,000+ in general. A Toronto girl of Chinese descent was recently quoted in a newspaper saying that she never goes to Chinatown unless she's clubbing (i.e. she'll never go sober).
