Calling a black man dumb is like calling him subhuman, an animal or illiterate. It's the old stereotype of the "Black Dumb Jock". Which mean Blacks can excel in sports but can't think or read when it comes to academics or in the classroom. That's just racist in my judgement.
Is Deontay Wilder the dumbest boxer ever?

They don't allow dummies into higher learning institutions unless they have some kind of intellectual aptitude. He didn't get in because of an athletic scholarship.
He got accepted because of his grades. They were good enough for him to enroll but he was forced to drop out early in order to earn enough money for his ailing daughter's medical bills.Comment

I know that, Captain Obvious. You’re almost certainly among the 65 percent of Brits who are on the dole, receiving government assistance.
If you were American, you’d have to get a job. Menial labor for sure given your keen intellect.Comment

Bow down to me next time, I'm your God. You wouldn't even be deemed employable in the UK due to your level of intellect. And you might end up getting thrown in the London zoo where you belong.Comment

Grammatically it would have been incorrect prior to 2001 or so but the rule stating that I said "more______" was abolished in the English language at about that time.So technically Im not incorrect, and Both are understood by native English speakers, so unless I'm writing a paper, either is fine.
Since you want to be a grammar teacher, the word or phrase "mate" is not grammatically correct, It is informal. Slang talk is not part of proper english, proper Australian. So if you knew as much as you'd thought, then you'd realize how hypocritical you sounded.
Oh and BTW I graduated from Elder HS, One of the most prestigious Private Catholic HS schools in America. Also, hold a Bachelors in Sociology from Xavier University.
Nice Try.
The "mate" is neither a slang nor Australian. It's a British term.
Cambridge Dictionary
Mate: used as a friendly way of talking to someone, especially a man
No native English speaker says "more dumber". Then again, you Americans don't speak proper English and the usage might be an American thing, since your version of the language is below par, lol.Comment

He's deeply thoughtful, like I said he's not a scholar or highly intelligent. He's about average intelligence. To claim he's the dumbest boxer ever is silly. He seems to be genuinely thoughtful too, not like i read how in a book type.Comment
