Is it ghetto to say "is" instead of "it's"

For example:

Instead of saying, "It's not that bad"; you say "Is not that bad."

Likewise:
"It's cold outside" transforms into "Is cold outside" .... "It's not mine" becomes "Is not mine"


Is this usage fine, or does it come across as ghetto?

Why put a racist spin on it?

It sounds like you're illiterate, plain and simple.

It's not ghetto, but if you do it without an accent, I'll assume you never made it past 4th grade

If you do it with an accent, you're likely Asian or Russian

Not sure if it would be "ghetto," but it would remind me more of the various Eastern Europeans I met/worked with in NYC.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

Worse than that is constantly using "no" instead of "any"
