I mean that one doesn't sound "dehumanizing" to my ear, like the guide suggests.

Wording like "the poor" makes being poor an identity. While "people who are poor" identifies them as people first. It's a subtle difference, but it has proven impact on general public perception of certain groups.

Only dehumanize people who deserve it, like the rich.
