Hmm. The word "ghetto" apparently originated in Venice and referred to a restricted enclave of Jews. It has become a racial flash-point for moderns (especially Americans) who are hypersensitive to political correctness.
Most people are familiar with the roots of the word ghetto. It's about segregation: cultural, racial, or economic. To ignore the more recent history of the word is perilous (for you) in the both the material and rhetorical sense of the discussion, as your second sentence proves.
In Haiti, whites and mulattos combined constitute only 5% of the population, which suggests that the segregation in Port-Au-Prince is economic, not racial. The Haitian residents who participated seemed proud of their work, and it didn't come across as exploitation to me.

That's fine for you and those who agree with you. Enjoy your deck.
