| Jul 25, 2018 at 20:17 | comment | added | Andrew | The term illegitimate makes it sound like there's something wrong with the child, which many consider a very condescending and outdated attitude. Instead just describe the child's parentage without insult. After all, many people in the United States and Europe choose not to marry these days, for personal reasons. While undoubtedly there are many who feel there's something wrong with this, that kind of dialogue is not common in the general media. | |
| Jul 25, 2018 at 20:15 | comment | added | Andrew | This is a topic for an entire conversation. American culture has changed over the past 20-30 years, especially in the way we talk about certain topics. For example, it would sound rude and arrogant to say the lower classes. Instead we might talk about people who live in poverty, or who are economically disadvantaged, or something similar that describes but doesn't disparage their situation. | |

But I've heard sentences like this a lot : e.g. We're not peppering the world with illegitimate children. Or e.g. We refer, of course, to the existence of her illegitimate son. Or e.g.My study also indicates that in the lower classes the birth of an illegitimate child was a life-course event that was frequently followed by marriage. | |

You can say something like "the child of unmarried parents", but in many communities the marital status of the parents is not important. More important is whether the child has supporting parents, period. Other parts of the United States might have different opinions, based on personal, cultural, and religious beliefs, but most television programs are fairly liberal. | |
