That idea gets too sticky, too fast. Look up Southern literacy tests for black people. Complete nightmare.
Reminds me of my friend applying for his concealed weapon permit in Alabama. You had to submit a form, and a picture, to the local sheriff. Told him, “Good thing you’re a middle-aged white guy!”
Still, I feel ya. Over half of Americans read at a 6th-grade level and our President speaks at a 4th-grade level. Obama spoke at a 10th-grade level and the hate wasn’t all down to racism. Americans are so fucking dumb, they were insulted, felt he was talking over their head to be a snotty, over-educated, “I’m better than you.”, type. Or as we call it in the South, “uppity”.
