139. poor people
It's not about "stats" - it's about actually knowing people who have lived in trailers. The stereotypes are an attack on poor people, who are much less likely to have internet access.

If you read the FR boards, you'll see that there is a lot of poor people bashing going on there as well.

I think you've got the freeper "lifestyle" all wrong.

Some prejudices are apparently more "PC" than others. That's why some vigilante "alerted" my post and got it deleted, while the more offensive ones remain.

As a person from a low-income family, this isn't a "friendly" thread - whether it's in the lounge or not.
