The term "poor white person" is considered by some to be derogatory and offensive, as it reinforces negative stereotypes and suggests that poverty and whiteness are inherently linked. However, there are several synonyms that can be used instead, which are more respectful and neutral in connotation. Some examples include: low-income individual, economically disadvantaged person, working-class individual, impoverished person, and person living below the poverty line. These terms focus on the economic status of the individual rather than their race, and avoid reinforcing harmful stereotypes about white people being inherently poor or disadvantaged.
