Not being able to read

>16 yo old cousin lives in the middle of Podunk, Appalachia
>Visit and while riding around in a car, he randomly says "Driving is hard because I can't read."
>I go "You're on the computer 10 hours a day?!"
>Dive into it and discover he basically browses reddit images 24/7
>His mom has him in regular high school because she refuses to accept he's a little slow, so he's hopeless and gets passed on thru.
>And he totally can't read. EVERYTHING for him is picture based.

Is this an inbred Appalachia thing? Or a Gen-Z thing whose lives are engulfed in time-wasting tech?

>is it an inbred Appalachia thing
been to Podunk multiple times

yes, it absolutely is
and christ there is nothing worse than that accent

I''ve never heard of anyone outside of niggers being illiterate so I think it's a "your cousin is retarded" thing.

Gotta love that American education system.

Not a lot of book smarts, but he doesn't do dumb or risky things. He's very mechanically inclined, like Karl Childers. He'd make a good mechanic, but he still needs to be able to read. His mom buys him chewing tobacco from her pittance of welfare. He's probably hopeless.

Dummy, your cousin is an outsider artist in the making. Tell him he's gay, buy him some paint and junk, and cash in on that shit.

Typical redditor

you're a disloyal motherfucker

Why does she do that? For what purpose?

>Karl Childers
you old

>His mom buys him chewing tobacco
Where is the father? Sounds like she's an abusively coddling bitch. He'll end up a retarded broken husk of a human being. I know from experience.

I bet your retard cousin is a drumpf supporter isn't he

Hey you guys
You guys in your basements
White people sure are dumb and inbred and smelly oy vey -- I mean I tell you what
You guys

How the fuck can you be illiterate in this day and age?

best to him. slow rivers run deep. fuck reading, as it's slow and old

This was really my main concern.

Dad is deceased. Mom has never worked a job, "doesn't think women should work"

I think she's a really dumb person who happened to birth a dumb child. It's like she really doesn't know any better.

Stop beening a prick. Four all you know maybe poor burger did not have it peeachy like you deed.

>le inbred illiterate appalachia meme

I'm sure this story really happened.

Lovecraft was right to be terrified of that part of the country.

I read a rumor (probably on Cred Forums so take it fwiw...) that Beyonce was illiterate. Like completely cannot read. How can a dumb bitch like that survive without texting?
