A 'slum dog' in this movie is simply referring to a person who lives in conditions of poverty. The 'slum' however, refers to more of a money struggle and in a way, is making 'slums' sound like lazy people who do not go to college and live poor, but in reality, they often do not have a choice nor the option of going to any educational facility.
A Slumdog is a person who lives in a very poor place, or kind of like the ghettos. I think that it could be very offense to some people because it is categorizing them, but others may respect that is where they are from, and are happy to be called a Slumdog.

A slumdog is described as someone who lives in poverty, on the streets with terrible living conditions. We may not consider it to be offensive but to those whom slumdog is being referred to it is. They realize they don't live in the most luxurious place there is, but to them it is disrespectful to refer to them as dogs. Someone who is lower and kind of just put off to the side. How would you feel is you were being referred to as a dog, a domesticated subspecies of the gray wolf? I don't think it would be the greatest feeling.
Spencer James Wright defined slumdog as being someone living in poverty and without much to live on, having limited amounts of food, water, and clothing. I feel as if it shouldn't be marked as offensive because even the people who live in the slums or are slumdogs call themselves slumdogs. Just like the protest against the movie there are always going to be people who are against things and people for it. It is personal opinion. Even though yes they were born into a poor area a name for where they live and who they are shouldn't be considered a big deal. --xoxo jess

The houses are easily taken down and leaves people more homeless than they are. This term could be seen as offensive because those people know they are poor and this term is another way of saying it, but not in a kind way. These people don't need to be reminded of their poverty by being compared to a dirty dog.
A slumdog describes a very unforntuate person with a tremendous amount of poverty and who lives in a very unwealthy community. I think that if you call some one something that will remind them that some how your better then them will always be offensive to that person, but if you were to say it to some one who is not a slumdog i think it would offend them at all
