It's not about intelligence, and I'm surprised that an 
intelligent man like you would think otherwise.
It's not reasonable to generalize community based upon only one 
member of said community, but it still happens. Everywhere, to 
everyone, because humans are like that. Instead of admitting of 
being unwelcoming, you swing the other way and accuse people of 
being not intelligent enough. That's absolutely ridiculous 
behavior that should not be acceptable in any friendly community.
