The term "bag people" is considered derogatory and offensive towards the homeless community. It is important to choose language that is respectful and inclusive. Some alternatives to "bag people" include "homeless individuals," "unsheltered people," "street dwellers," or "people experiencing homelessness." These terms emphasize that people who are homeless are people first and should be treated with dignity and compassion. By choosing non-stigmatizing language, we can help reduce the negative stereotypes surrounding homelessness and focus on finding solutions to this critical social issue.
