[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"unhoused people".... I love that one. we used to call them the homeless. At least I dont have to die....I'll "pass away". long live euphemism![/quote] Referring to people as "homeless" or "slaves" or other terms like that is dehumanizing. "Unhoused people" makes you think and talk about them as PEOPLE. "People who were enslaved" makes you think and talk about them as PEOPLE. I know you're more comfortable thinking about "slaves," so I'm sure you won't give it another thought.[/quote] Your semantics aren’t very convincing as you likely are highly selective in which nouns you wish to replace with compound phrases. Some of us retain the ability to understand that the homeless are, and slaves were, indeed people. Do you plan to refer to police as “policing people” or to Senators as “elected people”? [/quote]
