That's not Stupidity, that's just lack of knowledge.
Stupid people and idiots are not the same either.
Stupidity is to show a lack of common sense, to do something foolish or to show a lack of comprehension. You can be clever and do something stupid. An idiot might be someone lacking in intelligence an imbecile, cretin, half-wit.
The poor ability to understand or to profit from experience? A wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention?
Cultural and racial prejudice is a form of stupidity imo.
Stupidity can take different forms and manifestations. Some are stupid only in their immediate family or with certain acquaintances, or in public. Some act stupid only when they have to speak or to write. Bright and intelligent children at home often fail in school and vice versa. What infuses stupidity in us is our culture and tradition. Fear, guilt and shame can initiate stupid behavior upon us. The temporary stupidity (out of shame) in the period of puberty. The entire expression of personality gets goofed up in the giggles of young girls and the strange contradiction in girls and boys their behavior. And fear helps us succumb to stupidity easily.

There is stupidity and then there is ignorance. The latter is NOT knowing, because you were never told, never learned, not schooled etc.
Stupidity is the opposite of wise.
You can't attribute stupidity to a low IQ, since people wit ha high IQ can be absentminded and do stupid things as well.
So stupid = unwise?
