Why are poor people so stupid?

The question implies that those living in poverty are somehow inferior or lacking knowledge, which is not only untrue, but can be harmful to individuals and communities. Poverty has numerous adverse impacts on people's quality of life, including lack of access to education, health care and employment opportunities.  People from low-income households may struggle with obtaining proper care and resources required for optimal learning. This leads to disproportionately fewer opportunities for those from poverty compared to their affluent peers; thus creating the perception that those from impoverished backgrounds have less intelligence. Furthermore it perpetuates social inequality as people who are often already struggling may feel diminished by such a stereotyped statement which only fuels injustice. Ultimately it reinforces the existing oppressive structures keeping people locked into intergenerational cycles of poverty making true advancement ever harder.

Poor people aren’t necessarily “stupid”. It is often true that those living in poverty have fewer opportunities to access quality education and other resources that can help them to develop and grow intellectually. Additionally, a variety of factors such as emotional stress, lack of financial security, health issues and lack of access to technology could cause someone's cognitive skills to lag behind.
