A Ghetto in Paris?

ghettoIt’s been several mornings that I’ve passed by this graffiti on my way to the office and every day I wonder who, on earth, could take the time to write “ghetto” on the sidewalk! Like in all big cities, in – or around – Paris, we also have areas that some consider to be ghettos. Generally, it’s a word associated with poverty, but in the 80′s, 3 famous French comedians made what could qualify as a rap song in which they made fun of 3 rich neighborhoods named Auteuil, Neuilly, Passy calling them “C’est mon ghetto” (it’s my ghetto).
