Which one do you think is more damaging; the 'indirect humiliation' or the 'direct humiliation'?

Asked by Your_Majesty (8235points) April 19th, 2010

Example: When one wants to humiliate a poor person in front of other rich people. He/she use two ways:

The indirect way: “What a surprise to see you here. That dress,it looks so dirty,where did you buy that? You know people around here,Mr. A is a rich business man,he own a big casino in LA,Mr. B is the owner of one of the biggest diamond factory in this state,and Mr. C is just another millionaire. And you? Oh forgive me,I really have no intention to say this…but you…you know…..

The direct way: “You poor ******! this place is just for well-moneyed people! Get out of here! You poor ******!

So Which one you think is a more damaging humiliation for you?
If you think the ‘indirect humiliation’ is more damaging then what kind of indirect humiliation you ever heard in your life?
It’s weird enough as we know the ‘indirect way’ is basically intended to less damages the target.
