Max doesn't give a shit. All he/she wants is for us to react.

He/she doesn't care, but honestly, I also don't think he/she cares if we react or not. I think he/she really feels that way about non-whites.

There are people from ghettos who turn out ok. There are also people from affluent neighborhood who end up selling drugs or being bad seeds.

The majority of "ghetto" residents are law abiding citizens but whether they turn out "ok" depends on what resources are available.

Cheerfulgreek isn't talking about the neighborhood "ghetto" and is speaking figuratively, equating "criminality" with a "ghetto" mindset.

I see what she means, although her language would be subject for a huge debate in some professional and nonprofessional settings.

I understand the difference

That post was more informational than anything.

Thanks DrPhil. That's exactly what I meant.

YES! Thanks for clarifying that. That was my point.

The bold basically answers what I was asking.
