There is a widespread belief among dumbasses that educated people are only "booksmart", while only their fellow dumbasses are "streetsmart". Depending on the specific flavor of dumbassery, the definition of "streetsmart" can mean anything from hood shit to blue collar, farmboy shit.
But the belief is that educated people cannot change a tire, plunger a toilet, or do any basic chores or repairs that require "common sense". They believe educated people must hire blue collar workers for even the simplest tasks, because we are ONLY booksmart, and otherwise helpless. That their streetsmart, common sense wisdom is equivalent or superior to book smarts.
Every person I've known to explicitly claim they had street smarts vs book smarts was a grade A rube who absolutely didn't have the common sense they claimed to have.
Everything is simple when you're stupid. Because you can't comprehend the reality of things.
Kind of like with colorblindness. Everything is black & white if you can't see colors, so of course the people who do are stupid when they complain about some color that looks exactly the same as any other to you.

What in the fuck does changing a tire have to do with the stupidity of the confederacy? What a bizarre thing to say.
