This post discusses topics ranging from Racism in TikTok to the disdain towards people with a ghetto accent. The video below was uploaded by muktarhuh. It shows a TikTok user making a video while walking in the city and hearing gunshots. Most of humanity&#8217;s history was spent in small communities where everyone knew everyone, so living in a ghetto is just the opposite.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memes_about_the_ghetto\"><\/span>Memes about the ghetto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that users of TikTok love roasting themselves. But did you know that one of their most popular phrases is &#8220;whew chile the ghetto&#8221;? Originally from a clip on Real Housewives of Atlanta, this phrase is now a well-known TikTok meme. Read on to learn more about this phrase&#8217;s origins and its rise to fame.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;the ghetto&#8221; has become so popular on TikTok that people are explaining their personal definitions. Connor Ward used the term in his TikTok to make fun of Spotify users, a streaming service that he claimed was inferior to Apple Music. The term has since been used to describe places and people with a lack of resources or social mobility. TikTok users have interpreted &#8220;the ghetto&#8221; in a variety of ways, from comparing the prices of a Chromebook to the quality of a Chromebook. Another TikTok user, @jawshh, called the Chromebook users in her class &#8220;the ghetto.&#8221; Similarly,&#8217;stelluhb&#8217; referred to the boys in her gym class as the &#8216;ghe<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Racism_in_TikTok\"><\/span>Racism in TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recent reports have shown that racist content is prevalent on the video-sharing app TikTok. The company, which claims it is &#8220;inclusive,&#8221; has been under fire for its tolerance of racist content on its platform, but it seems to be having a hard time controlling its users. However, TikTok has recently updated its community guidelines, and has started to punish users for reporting potentially racist and dangerous content. The company has also had a history of hiding content, which demonstrates its &#8220;inclusive&#8221; attitude.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a white TikToker may inappropriately use the voice of a Black person and frame it as a punchline. An example of this is a video that was uploaded by an 18-year-old man while he was checking in at a Spirit airline. The video also featured a black-shirt-and-gray-wall-clad woman, Nene Leakes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these efforts, racism is still prevalent on TikTok. In a recent report, the company revealed its intention to invest in Black creatives, and it also held virtual meetings with Black creators to hear their stories. In addition to these steps, TikTok has also announced a new incubator program for Black-themed creators. It may not be enough, however, to solve the issue of racism in TikTok.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disrespect_towards_people_with_a_ghetto_accent\"><\/span>Disrespect towards people with a ghetto accent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to show your disrespect towards black people with a ghetto accent on the Internet. While there is no evidence to support this, the Internet is full of videos where non-black people mock black accents and slang. The best way to show respect to people of color is to avoid using a black accent yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Creating videos mocking black culture is a controversial and damaging way to show your prejudice against other groups. Many TikTok videos feature white teens impersonating black characters and cultures, and adopting slang or accents from these communities. This lack of respect reflects poorly on the creators of these videos and is a surefire way to get your content removed.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y30bwuxEMCc\" width=\"516\" height=\"288\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Ghetto on TikTok?
