9. Racism. Easy as that.

It's a dog whistle that he's really not smart enough to speak on his own and that he's so obvious about it it calls into question his reading and comprehension skills. No question about it. There is no other way to interpret it. Calling into question a person of color's speaking and reading skills is always one of the first lines of attack with racism. We've seen that recently with the Zimmerman trial and it pops up all the time in other places. I remember when there was a rumor actor Chris Tucker couldn't read after he had secured a 15m paycheck for Rush Hour. Bizarre, but never fails as a go to tactic when you want to call a black person's intelligence into question.
