Raisin In the Sun
Beneatha was describing how her whole family has this bug she calls Ghetto-it is, which explains the actions of all the main characters in the first act. When Beneatha said this she was just welcoming Asagi into her home. He asked her what was wrong and she responded with the acute ghetto-it is term.

Beneatha was the one who said the family suffers from acute Ghetto-itis. Unlike Ruth Walter takes money not as seriously, while Ruth thinks they need to save every penny so they won't end up in the gutter. Beneatha may think that she is better than her own family.
