Is it Ghetto to back your Z in?

It's safer, but coming from driving pick-ups I find driving in reverse to be a bit of a challenge. I do practice occasionally and am getting better...the blind spot is crazy! I can parallel-park like a madman though

The last thing I'd associate with the word "ghetto" is backing into a parking spot. I've never even heard of this. I must be missing something, or I haven't been exposed to the areas where this notion is supposed to come from. But come to think of it, I've never backed my Z into a parking spot once. At my old job I used to back my RX-8 into my spot because it was easier to make sure any other vehicles leaving/entering have gone by me.
