I'm not saying it was wrong to include somebody like that in the show. What was wrong was portraying somebody like that to be incapable of work, getting yelled at, called "derpy", and receiving no ramifications afterward. Yes, I'm aware that not everyone who watched that scene interpreted it that way. But obviously, there were people who did.

If the character had been portrayed to be mentally retarded, that in of itself, I believe, would have been fine, if the episode included a lesson that said such a thing was perfectly acceptable. But that didn't happen. If it did, I bet you there would have been no problems.
