It's not their fault. They just don't get it.

1. Yes they are.
What, do we need to treat them as SPECIAL just because they were born with a fog in the brain??????

3. There's a big difference between ignorance and stupidity
There's no shame in ignorance - it just means you don't know better. For example, those with developmental delays and disabilities.

Stupidity is another matter - it could be willful ignorance, or basically they should know better but don't give a shit.
