They're not. This is a classical stereotype which is not true at all.
Also, referring to mute people as "dumb" is discrimination. You risk being sued and/or jailed for discrimination.
Learn some respect.

As with any disability there are ways to overcome it and to use the abilities that we are all given in some form. Only ignorance prevails as a form of discrimination and thinking concerning those with disabilities.

How do deaf and dumb persons communicate with those who are not deaf and dumb?
IMPROVED: The post below is correct, but I MUST add that it has long been considered VERY INAPPROPRIATE to say deaf and dumb. Deaf is to not hear. Mute is to not speak. Deaf and dumb is considered extremely offensive. Also know that many deaf persons speak with their mouths just as hearing persons do.Sign language is the most common form of communication used. Basically, it is an additional language people learn so they can talk together in another way. Lip reading is also used, but it is better as an augmentation, rather than as a primary means of communication.
