You don't hear highly educated people walking around talking about the fact or bragging about the fact that they're not good readers, but you hear people all the time bragging about how they're not math people.
No se escucha a personas  con formación superior hablando del hecho, o alardeando de no ser buenos lectores. Pero sí se escucha a gente todo el tiempo fanfarroneando  de lo malos que son en matemáticas.
