Just curious because when I was living there (1999-2002), the Central Americans were in Riverside (particularly north and south of Flagler from 27th Avenue East) and had all but pushed the elderly Cubans out of Little Havana. From downtown on north was still largely black and VERY poor.
Still is. Except now the Haitians are moving in slowly. Paradise compared to Port Au Prince.
I have never understood people using Ghetto as another word for a slum. Ghettos were built to contain the Jews before and during the Second World War. They had high walls and the Jews were not allowed to leave. I have never seen a wall around any so called Ghetto in the US. I did not know the tenants were confined and could not leave whenever they wanted. I don't know, maybe it is PC to try to make things worse than they really are. Maybe people will pity them more.
