No, I do not think it a euphemism. The user you responded to (u/pandlet) gave no indication that his concern that “an underclass of people shut out from the rest of society” was related to fear that the poor committing crimes. You don’t think there’s reasons other than fear to be unhappy about the existence of a “shut out” underclass?

No. If I don't fear them, then they're of no consequence and I don't care about them.

Sounds like you fear for your physical safety if you immediately assumed u/pandler’s primary concern was crimes committed by a shut out underclass.
