People who are white or caucasian do want to be like people of African decent. The term "ghetto" kind of changed definition. Also, "rachet" has changed.

It is rude in my opinion but it is part of society.
This is why "black" is not rude (unless of course you just go up to some stranger and go "Hey, black dude!"). African decent is not specific. There are Arabs in Africa who have been living there many hundreds of years. Are we not calling them Africans cause we think of spear chucking natives rather than guys with turbans firing off AK-47s when we think of Africa?
