there are all kinds of ghettos around the world.

[inachu]

ghettos are of all races creeds and nationality.

if there was a company supporting hardware for more than 15 years then 20 years later other companies demand support should that comapny be held liable to support them if support was just verbal and only if they still had the old computers?



I ask this because I took a tour of a company plant and they said the back part of the building is where all the old ghetto stuff is and only 1 person felt offended by using that terminology.

Was that person right to be offended or were they too uppity?

 

[lxskllr]

Borrowing from Italian ghetto, from Venetian, ghèto (“foundry”). Alternatively an apheresis of the Italian borghetto, diminutive of borgo (“village”). Initially used of the areas Jews were concentrated, later extended to concentrations of other ethnicities and then non-ethic groups. The adjective and verb derive from the noun.

Were they right to be offended? Everyone has the right to be offended. They also have the social obligation to STFU, and keep it to themselves.

Im gonna say uppity. I see all kinds. A ghetto can mean to me the projects which are 90% black or the 1000 acre trailer park that is 90% white. Some people need legitimate help and its there for them, in some form or fashion...others leech it... attitudes always the same, its either thank you very much for helping or I don't know what these fuckers are doing done here. I just role on...
