Why does the Left love creepy polysyllabic euphemisms that obscure reality? 'Underprivileged' means 'poor'. Why not just say 'poor'?

Why not just say "ineffective"? Or "unambitious"? Or "cognitively lacking"? Or "dysfunctional"? Or "inept"? "Poor" itself is a euphemism.

'Poor' means lacking money. That's what 'underprivileged' means, in practice. It's just laden with theoretical bias.

"Underprivileged" is a thick concept http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thick_concept …. "Poor" not so much.

Good reference. 'Thick concept' seems to mean 'dripping with ideological moralizing'?

"Moralizing" is a thick concept. I would prefer to say there is an ethical evaluation within a thick concept.
