I see what you're saying and I'm half way there with you.
The important things are:
a) don't ignore (just in the same way you won't ignore any other person, it's not a status thing, just a human thing)
b) don't patronize - the comments in this thread and the general "be nice to poor people" has a feel good condescension written all over it, which you're rightly calling out. But it is possible (and baseline important) to be respectful to anyone and not be condescending.
- deltasevennine 4y agoyou have a point. I guess I'm more referring to the tendency and desire to ignore them. I'm embarrassed about my position, but I and most people won't ignore them as that's against common human decency. Feel good condescension is exactly my point. It's the perfect phrase to illustrate what I'm trying to say. Thanks.
