Depends on how they're dumb. Your example is just amusing and pretty innocent - that doesn't bother me at all. What would bug me is if it's something that's clearly screwing up their life. Like if they can't hold down a job or get through basic everyday tasks without constantly fucking it up.

For me, intelligence isn't about what you know - it's about how you think. Can she grasp that Vietnam is an actual country once you explain it to her? If yes, then she's not dumb - she's just ignorant or uneducated. I can live with that. Especially with a 10/10 personality.

    Yeah, she got it, and she was actually curious about it. She also admitted on her own that she’s not the smartest person, she found school boring,

    Self awareness goes a long way in the right direction.

    and her parents basically told her to ignore it since they’d take care of everything. They have money, so she doesn’t need to work if she doesn’t want to

    That's a red flag. More on the parents than on her. What kind of smooth-brain tells their kids not to learn or work? How will she function in society once they're gone?

    I'd say instilling a desire to learn and work is something you should attempt, but based on what you say, that's literally the only thing to worry about. Besides her parents apathy I mean.

    A lot of people view women’s role in society as just breeders, so don’t value a woman’s education in the slightest. How you could think that about your own daughter is beyond me, but that’s the long and short of it. Sexist parents with lots of money do this kind of shit.
