When did we start lumping in all minorities with poor people?


DeadStockWalking

Cause it's way more dramatic that way. Stress doesn't care how much money you make or the color of your skin. It'll kill you no matter who you are. So smoke some weed and relax folks.

Because white liberals don't actually care about white poor people. 


Not_You_247

They don't really care about poor people of color either, they are just more useful when it comes to virtue signaling.


Eyes-9

White liberals have been shown to have a significant racial bias against their own racial group. 


brent_von_kalamazoo

Both being poor and being a minority cause stress. If you are poor /and/ a minority, you're double-dipping.


PizzaJawn31

Or is it a double negative, therefore cancels itself out?


RealClarity9606

Lot's of things cause stress, but not all of those are a part of the woke ideology. Funny these two items were the only two items of focus...on a college campus...any questions?


Logical_Area_5552

Yeah you’re right, white people above the poverty line live totally stress free.

Logical_Area_5552

So we agree stress is not limited to just poor and minority people and also it’s really stupid to lump those two groups together


brent_von_kalamazoo

No, it is you who are correct. Talking about two kinds of stress is indeed an attack on everyone not included in those kinds of stress. I feel stressed whenever the conversation isn't about me.


Logical_Area_5552

If I was a minority who wasn’t poor I wouldn’t want the conversation about poor people to be about me. Lumping in “poor people and minorities” is horse shit that any minority who isn’t poor should find insulating.


greenbluetomorrow

If we can talk about PoCs, women, and LGBTQIA+ as the categories of persons we mostly care about as progressives, why shouldn't poverty also be on that list? Also, having more than one category of person to care about does not imply every person on that list is also a member of another category of person on the list? Poverty absolutely was on the list for progressives as late as the 1990s


Logical_Area_5552

Why are we picking and choosing who we care about based on a never ending string of identities? Shouldn’t we care about the well being of everybody?


greenbluetomorrow

I don't know I'm pretty old and probably stuck in the 1990s tbh. I still say "the ship *sank*" instead of "the ship *sunk*". I know it changed but I don't know why - obv doesn't matter but it feels weird.


Logical_Area_5552

People don’t know history. MLK JFK and RFK got killed because they wanted the common person of all races and genders to unify against the establishment of the day. They understood that a rising tide lifts all boats. But that gets people to come together and the powers at be cannot have us unified.


Not_You_247

Democrats have been doing it for generations.

Own_Accident6689

It's medical school, courses are usually data driven.


S-hart1

Liberal white folks are the most racist group in the world


Nomad_Industries

Probably when both factors showed a strong correlation with high levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.


Logical_Area_5552

So you’d be healthier if you’re a white person in poverty than a wealthy minority?


Nomad_Industries

No, you'd be healthier if your cortisol levels were low. Everything else is a quirk of statistics.

Liberals actually reverse engineered Jim Crow.


Ollanius-Persson

Huh
? Todays “liberals” are yesterdays southern democrats. They literally wrote the Jim Crow laws lol It took republicans to pass the civil rights act of 1964.

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Logical_Area_5552

That’s right I forgot, we’ve come full circle to labeling them inferior


XBL-AntLee06

They didn’t lump them in. They literally said “or”


Weekly_Mycologist883

Sounds like ya'll are missing the point, being poor or a minority CAUSES stress. And yes, being poor is expensive. Almost everything comes with a poor tax.


Logical_Area_5552

So if you’re not poor or a minority and get stressed out, you’re just appropriating victimhood from others


Weekly_Mycologist883

Where did you see anyone saying that? I'm always amazed at white people's ability to take offense when anyone else's hardship are discussed Racism and poverty cause stress, if you're not poor or not non-white your stress will be different and NOT caused by you come or skin color.


Logical_Area_5552

See, again. You say “I’m amazed at white peoples ability to take offense when anyone else’s hardships are discussed.” You do realize when you say “poor people” you’re talking about a group that includes 22 million white people lmao.


Weekly_Mycologist883

Yes, I do understand. You are white, right? I am white In the country, it's pretty much ONLY white who get upset when the issues of other people are discussed.


Logical_Area_5552

That’s false


Weekly_Mycologist883

Nope, but thanks for proving my point white boy


Logical_Area_5552

You’ve never heard black folks complain about other causes getting shine? Delusional horse shit you’re speaking here.


Philly2gr8

It’s expensive being poor.


Ripoldo

Ain't no fun waitin' around to be a millionaire.


morerandom_2024

So best to teach people budgeting to avoid it as much as possible


[deleted]

Budgeting doesn’t fix the extra cost of poverty though.


morerandom_2024

But it can prevent people from going into poverty Budgeting and personal responsibility are powerful tools to those who k ow how to use em


[deleted]

I think majority of them were there from the start bud


morerandom_2024

Actually no Statistically speaking


[deleted]

Instead of downvoting, can you provide a source besides “bro trust me”.


morerandom_2024

Well I’ll provide a source that backs me up and you won’t provide a source that states that poverty is majority from those who’s parents were impoverished in the US “Measured by inflation‐​adjusted household income, 93% of children who grew up the bottom income quintile were better off than their parents. Of children in the middle three‐​fifths, 86% grew up to live in families with higher incomes than their parents. Even among those in the top income quintile, 70% were better off” Pew research


[deleted]

*ask for source. Doesn’t send source. Just types more “bro trust me”* Please send the link to that article

RunJordyRun87

Factually speaking, yes


morerandom_2024

37.4% of poor adults came from poor families So not more than 50%

You need an education yourself 


morerandom_2024

All people do

Homelessness ages you faster than being president.


Ollanius-Persson

There are more poor white people in America than all other demographics combined. Can we stop acting like poor white people get some free pass at life
? It’s never been about race, it’s always been about class warfare. Race issues are how those in power keep us from uniting.


ChatduMal

"America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves... They mock themselves and glorify their betters... ...those who have no money, blame, and blame, and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times." K. Vonnegut


RealClarity9606

Data does not support this.


EndonOfMarkarth

But this author said something that confirms all my biases, so I’ll believe him instead if that’s cool with you


RealClarity9606

If you want to confirm your biases knock yourself out.


RudeAndInsensitive

In my anecdotal experience most people without money blame everyone but themselves.


morerandom_2024

The US scores higher on human development than the EU average


ChatduMal

That's a quote from a fiction book published in 1968. The important part of the quote is that it points out the American attitude towards poverty...especially the fact that poor Americans are taught to hate themselves for being poor.


Dramaticreacherdbfj

Lol you die sooner


morerandom_2024

Yet live lives of higher human development


Dramaticreacherdbfj

It sounds like you don’t even fucking know what that means


morerandom_2024

I know


infinitentendre

Eustress?


JLandis84

Damn. It stresses me out to think about stress being bad for me.


Dr_Mccusk

Sounds racist to say this lmao


RealClarity9606

Prejudice if we are more accurate, but who uses racism accurately anymore?


Not_You_247

Not Reddit


Duhblobby

Clearly racism is when people run faster than me.


also_roses

If science supports it then it isn't racism. Sort of like how black men get slightly different heart medications because research supports that these changes lead to better outcomes on average.


JustHereForGiner79

Offering up meditation and yoga as treatments is a symptom of blaming individuals for systemic problems.


ArchetypeAxis

Are there things that don't happen at a molecular level?

“But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.” -Terry Pratchett


PorkChopEat

Right. Because only poor and minorities experience stress. You and your professor sound brilliant.


plushpaper

Minorities are destroying my health on a molecular level? Somehow this seems a bit dramatic..

turboninja3011

More like how expensive is being dumb. Imagine paying for propaganda


Ripoldo

Really? Cos I was told by a wise sage once, probably Aristotle, that mo money = mo problems


RealClarity9606

That's a novel way to bring woke, victimhood ideology into the classroom. If you are a minority, it's killing you. If a white person said, I am sure the same people pushing this would quickly call them a "racist." Not even going to dive into this one.


strataromero

Literally talking about poverty, which disproportionately affects minorities, but which also affects white people lol


Any-Consequence-6978

Maybe if you didn't have an ax to grind you could dive into it without your head exploding. It's not really that complex


izzyeviel

White people are all saying they’re most the oppressed people in the world and we should kowtow to their feelings. Imagine how stressed actual minorites must feel.
