What are ghettos? Where are they generally concentrated in the U.S. cities?
What will be an ideal response?
The population shifts in cities in the United States have led to considerable residential segregation of racial and ethnic minorities. The term ghetto refers to a neighborhood inhabited largely by members of a single ethnic or racial group. In the early part of this century, Jews and Italians lived in urban ghettos; today, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians are the primary ghetto residents. They are concentrated in the central-city areas with the most severe urban problems.
