Why people aren't outraged by stuff like this I have absolutely no idea.
I'd argue this is because most attempts to reduce large groups of people to an idea like "the rich" or "the poor" are done in bad faith.
A support of this would be, within academic sociology or economics these terms will be used in a non slur way and it's because they actually have a reason to be thinking in terms of these groups instead of throwing them out as stawmen for some argument
Did you read the article? Or did you read the first two paragaphs and decide it was wrong thought and go to yell to the internet?
Awesome how almost every time I see almost anything asserted on HN within my areas of expertise it will reliably be dramatically incorrect.

This obsession with "proof" and "data" is anti scientific.
There's one objectively correct version of understanding the world and the important idea is to camp people into binary groups of "believes correct news" or "believes fake news"
