1. Stupid, poor, minority are your words. It's funny how you can use terms with the exact same definition, but get scared when reality strikes. 2. There's nothing inherently wrong with being a Marxist (despite an obvious misunderstanding of economics). 3. From 1 and 2, it is only your politically correct / conversationally damaging standoffishness that creates your perception of "heated". This explains a lot really. You're more worried about being inoffensive than right, which is exactly why you've chosen the path you've chosen. Ignoring facts and complaining about nonexistent "strong and heated" words. This isn't a good way to learn anything.

No, the fact of the matter is that "stupid poor minority" are your words and simply that you continue to try to claim that they're mine shows that you're just trolling here.

  underinformed/underrepresented/broke = dumb/minority/poor There is literally no difference. Your concentration on this is just a way for you to tuck your tail between your legs without running. You're wrong, so you concentrate on what you think is "controversial" and pick out semantics so you don't have to confront your own ignorance.

    There is, actually, a difference. Notwithstanding the difference in connotation (which is significant, but you seem to be willingly ignoring), there is a pretty important difference in denotation. An underinformed person could get informed, a dumb person maybe not. There are far more underrepresented groups than just minorities, so equating the two is simply ignoring critical facts about the world. And though broke and poor are pretty close to being synonyms, there is still a distinction: broke implies a temporary state. One day you'll learn that the world is more nuanced than your absolutism would have. Perhaps we can have a reasonable discussion then. For now I'm done feeding the trolls.

      You're a joke. Everything you've said to me is a way to ignore the issue at hand and to excuse your own stupidity. Keep running little puppy, keep searching for those "reasonable discussions". I'm confident you'll never learn anything, but if blindly running around the world is all you know how to do, might as well do it.
