Literacy has long been a white colonialist dog whistle. During the era of colonization literacy rates of the local popular would be quantified, and this would influence how "civilized" they were believed to be. Some populations didn't even have written language at all. The white man would force their colonial written language onto the natives. Meanwhile there is no basis to the idea that illiterate people are less civilized then literate people and belief otherwise is simply internalized racism that most be removed through anti-colonial action. Stop teaching people how to read. The BBC understands this which is why they distribute in pidgin: https://www.bbc.com/pidginI'm surprised this guy wasn't banned.
