That is so fucking annoying given I have family members who are disabled. Also, I hate when people use "ghetto" as an adjective. To me, it is like the new N-word. The associations are totally not colorblind. ... [Edited 8/2/07 10:11am] It sounds quite shocking to British ears. It's always surprising how much it's used in the States, even in children's films, etc. Political correctness consigned our own version of retarded - "spastic" - to history some time ago. Then again, the C-word is less taboo over here, at least with working class males. | |
