Ah, the classic "didn't mean the well presented part of group X when I said X". That's a cliche way to mask prejudice. No, if they didn't actually mean homeless, I'm calling them out on writing "homeless".

If only we could follow links and had some form of search for similar text to find multiple studies published on that topic...
