A blanket statement like "they're not dumb" or "they are dumb" is wrong with fallacy. Certainly, some of the people are dumb and some are not. You can't make a blanket statement until you've met ALL the people.

I'll tell you who's dumb: the people that she repeatedly corrects and insist on still saying the name however they want. I work in a hospital and if there is a tough name, the person's name is written out (somewhere) phonetically so that they don't keep butchering the person's name. It's just disrespectful.
Right, that is dumb.
