Stupid people Quote by Tendai Huchu
![“He wrote about how stupid the people there could be. I never imagines white people could be stupid. He met people who had never read Shakespear and couldn't form a proper sentence in their own native tongue - though in this respect it looked as if my own daughter might be taking the same route. [29]” quote by Tendai Huchu](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/beb/tendai-huchu-29586_stupid-people_he-wrote-about-how-stupid-the-people-the_290041.jpg)
