Best Answer

Yes, around 22 to 23 Percent of Americans are illiterate, the problem is especially common amongst the Caucasian Southerners of the southeastern seaboard. It isn't seen as a issue because of the " White Trailer Trash " Stereotype. The illiterate aren't seen because of their ability to use context clues.
