When I moved into my current apartment, a few co-workers (all older men of mennonite background) warned me that I was moving into a "ghetto". Of course I'd looked at the apartment and neighbourhood before signing the lease. All I saw was a clean, well-maintained apartment in completely gentrified area. I had no idea what they were talking about. It was only later that I learned that to those co-workers, "ghetto" didn't mean "slum" - it meant "lots of black people live there".
