"Ignorance is a huge part of racism, probably the biggest part, but it's not everything."

in the case of a person without color saying "thats ghetto", would you say that the person has misunderstood or does not grasp the implications of the phrase and that by explaining the meaning they would change or refrain?

"this development in our language is indicative of deep ignorance within majority culture"

due to the varying status of the speaker i think it would be difficult to site a uniform intention behind the use of the phrase , thus i think either of our explanations can be useful and explanatory. However i wonder what you refer to by the phrase "deep ignorance"? i write this because i am hesistant about racism being considered a misunderstanding that can be alleviated by consciousness or the Truth.
