Woah, we just speedran "low information is racist" to "poor people are stupid", I've never seen anything like it.

  No one said a thing about race. Look up a definition of "ethnocentric" please; ethnocentrism also refers to cultural normativity. Specifically, I was referring to the following idea which can be found on the Wikipedia article on the term "low information voter": >Linguist George Lakoff has written that the term is a pejorative mainly used by American liberals to refer to people who vote conservative against what liberals assume to be their own interests and assumes they do it because they lack sufficient information. Liberals, he said, attribute the problem in part to deliberate Republican efforts at misinforming voters. It seems to me you are the one applying racial priors to my comment. As for the second jerky thing you said: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/how-poverty-affects-the-brain-and-behavior https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/how-poverty-af... https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1238041 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1238041 https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(22)00428-7/abstract https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(22)00428-7/abs... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5266697/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5266697/ https://neurosciencenews.com/poverty-neurodevelopment-behavior-25923/ https://neurosciencenews.com/poverty-neurodevelopment-behavi... https://www.nber.org/system/files/chapters/c13830/revisions/c13830.rev3.pdf https://www.nber.org/system/files/chapters/c13830/revisions/... https://academic.oup.com/jrsssa/article/179/2/535/7068210?login=false https://academic.oup.com/jrsssa/article/179/2/535/7068210?lo...
