| Topic | Why is "unhoused" preferred to "homeless?" |

We're discussing how that new word doesn't actually do that.Why not? Get out and talk to people. There are people who will say "homeless" like it's acid coming from their throat. Just changing the word used reframes the problem and humanizes the people, even if temporarily. When a word becomes a slur, like homeless, or the r-word, or even something like Democrat or Obamacare, resetting the conversation helps bring biases closer to reality - again, even if temporarily as can be seen by the history of the r-word. Edit: similarly, see antiquated words for Black People. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png ...
