I grew up in a mostly hispanic part of Denver that was often referred to as "the barrio" and the name was used as a symbol of pride for those of us who lived there People in Seattle are just WAY too uptight.
Agreed - Barrio just means neighborhood or district. In fact Barrio Norte in Buenos Aires is a reasonably nice neighborhood.
