What defines the ghetto?
The term "ghetto" comes from the Italian word "Gheta". which was the name of a marsh type island near Venice that Jews occupied in the 13th century. Many Jews fled to Venice due to the prosecutions in Spain and Portugal in 1492. This was the result of what Jews call "diasporia" which was the spreading of the Jews throughout Europe since 70CE.(the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans) The term came into widespread use in Ghettos in occupied Europe 1939-1944 where the Jews were required to live prior to their transportation to concentration and death camps. Today the term can be used in a derogatory way when describing a poorly maintained neighborhood with a minority race as residents.
