She has a saying “poor people have poor ways” which she thinks means that when your poor you work with what you have, I have told her it is an insult that means poor people are poor because of their actions and decisions.

I think you could maybe use less time on the Internet. Social media has a nasty habit of telling everyone that everything they hear is a code for something else; spend too long reading that junk and it’ll convince you that everyone in the world is a secret bigot.

Dogwhistles are real bestie. I think this says way more about you, than the person you're replying to.

What was described here clearly wasn't an instance of one though. It was two different people reading a saying two different ways.

Lol, considering I heard it all the time growing up in the 80s you might be a bit off on your assessment.

I grew up in a middle class suburb where the it was used as an insult kinda like " poor people are poor because they are stupid"

She grew up in the Ozarks and they used it more as a " we got ways to make do"
