For me the largest issue with calling people dumb is that it attempts to create a quantitative scale of intelligence that all people fit on. If you complete that line of thinking you eventually end up doing eugenics.

These racist lines of thinking are also not the result of a general lack of intelligence as much as a lack of life experience and empathy.

This is the wrong reasoning though. It comes from gamer brain, a need to feel superior at something, and evolutionary psychology.

This combination of false ideas means that all life experience can be explained away, and he probably thinks he is being empathetic.

He has likely been rewarded for thinking this way his whole life, and generates enough explanatory power for them to feel comfortable expressing it.
