Yeah I definitely get the intended purpose, I just think there's going to have to be societal shift for it to have the effect that it is supposed to have. The people who think that renaming things is dumb are going to continue to use the old terminology and continue to be negative and the people who choose to use the new terminology were probably already respectful anyways.

Either way, I appreciate the time that you spent to explain it. Just wish that we had better results in practice.

Yeah, I just wonder if maybe trying to address the reason that we keep making these terms negative stereotypes instead of moving on to a different term might be a better solution. Obviously it's a more difficult one but you have to convince society to use the new term anyway.

At the end of the day, Xfinity is still Comcast even if they try to pretend they arent.

Serious question, not being facetious: how is "homeless" different than "unsheltered". Is it the attached emotion or is it some semantics I am missing?

If people start throwing all their shade using the term "unsheltered drug users" and whatever other negativity they attached to "homeless", arent we going to have the exact same conversation in 5 years?

What is fundamentally different?
