i looked it up, and

from the english wiktionary page “dumb“ ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dumb#Adjective ), etymology 1, adjective, definition 6:

(informal, derogatory, especially of a person) Stupid.

if you meant stupid, why wouldn’t you say „stupid“? „dumb“ is supposed to mean „un[willing/able] to speak“ (of course, it might be 3at i’m just begging 3e question)
