I think they meant a quarter of the population being illiterate, that is, that fact that such a statistic exists, is “fucking nuts,” not the illiterate population themselves.
Well he proceeded it by saying that they don't "like" to read, implying that this is a choice on their part.
Not at all the way I read it, but I can see your thought train
Hence it being a question. I wasn't aware that access to learning to read wasn't easily available.
Stats on illiterate by choice vs socioeconomic standing would be very interesting
