Remember that real people LIVE in those neighborhoods; that's where their homes and families are. Would you want strangers wandering through YOUR neighborhood, gawking at YOUR home, making comments about where YOU live?

Personally, I don't see the problem with wanting to visit the ghetto. Especially to one that has never seen anything like it before, at least it will give them a visual of what it is like.

Yeah that sounds about right.

Find the highest populations of Blacks or non-European or White Hispanics and you will generally find 1) the poorest, and 2) the most crime-ridden parts of any major city in the US.
