1 most definitely means black, as is clear in the end of the sentence. This is also an extremely common definition in many progressive circles.

To be clear, the word Ghetto was literally invented to describe where Jews lived. The origin of the word Ghetto is undisputed.

Factually incorrect

How do you figure? Literally says the origin is the Jewish ghetto in Venice. The etymological meaning of the word may vary, but that literally supports what I said, that the origin has been Jewish for hundreds of years with no dispute.
