Explanation / Answer

A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, typically as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure. The term was originally used in Venice to describe the part of the city to which Jews were restricted and segregated but the term has since been applied in various contexts.

Nigga is a colloquial term used in African American Vernacular English that began as an eye dialect form of the word nigger, an ethnic slur against black people.
