I've seen people says he's dumb mainly because of his speech. I've seen people say the same thing about N. Dean. Those are a certain kind of people. You can almost be sure of what their political leanings are when you hear them do it. That isn't to say that all people who have those leanings would make fun of how a lot of African Americans talk, but the ones who do make fun of them, well the stereotypes of those ones are largely true. Herschel was an honor graduate in high school.
