The term 'ghetto' was
originally used to refer to
the Venetian Ghetto in Venice,
Italy where Jews were forced
to live. The word "ghetto"
actually means "foundry" in
Italian, used in this sense in
a reference to a foundry
located on the same island as
the area of Jewish
confinement.[2] An alternative
etymology is from Italian
borghetto, diminutive of borgo
‘borough’ (Source:
Wilkipedia)
"Slum" was originally used
mainly in the phrase "back
slum," meaning a back room and
later "back alley".[10] The
Oxford English Dictionary says
it may be a "cant" word of
Roma (Gypsy) origin. The
etymologist Eric Partridge
says flatly that it is "of
unknown origin."[11]
Other terms that are often
used interchangeably with
"slum" include shanty town,
favela, skid row, barrio,
ghetto, and "The Hood,"
although each of these has
somewhat different meaning.
Slums are distinguished from
shanty towns and favelas in
that the latter initially are
low-class settlements, whereas
slums are generally
constructed early on as
respectable, often prestigious
communities. Skid row refers
to an urban area with a high
homeless population. The term
is most commonly used on the
west coast of the United
States. Barrio may refer to an
upper-class area in some
Spanish-speaking countries,
and only is used to describe a
low-class community in the
United States. Ghetto refers
to a neighbourhood based on
shared ethnicity. By contrast,
identification of an area as a
slum is based solely on
socio-economic criteria, not
on racial, ethnic, or
religious criteria. The term
"The Hood" is used in the
United States only to describe
a slum with a high
African-American population,
from a shortening of "the
neighborhood". (Source:

What are the origins of thejack in the box?Why calledJack?Why did it first changeif it was first a clown? |
|
I do not think that the
origins of the jack in the
box, are as simple, or indeed
controversial as those that
say it appeared first as a
vile racist toy.
Although there is every
possibility that children will
have been encouraged, and
indoctrinated into beliefs
that upheld the politics of
slavery, there is alot of
evidence to suggest that the
jack in the box first appeared
in the UK as a clown, or as a
punch character.
The important thing is, when
did the toy become named as a
Jack in the Box? |
|
There was nothing racist about
it.
It is an old english toy.
They were made in the 1930s,
if not after the 2nd WW.
The faces were often clown
like......perhaps a bit
grotesque for a child....but
nothing racist.
The faces were "white" at a
time when the population of
England was overwhelmingly
white.
JACK is just short for John -
for a long time the most
common English boys' name. I'm
not aware it ever had a
strange meaning |
