I've known a loootttttt of white folks who can't speak English properly, and graduate high school as functional illiterates. They often (shockingly!) are from poor white trash families who place no cultural value on education or bettering oneself.

If you want to accuse Zimmerman of a prejudice, I think the only one that could apply is class prejudice, and, sad to say, some of it would be justifiable, as it is true that in those socioeconomic based subcultures, criminal behavior is much more prevalent.
