Derpy being clumsy but likeable, was how the fans portrayed her, (even her name basically means "silly in a likeable way" despite what the haters may say), so they made her that way as a tribute, and they placed her in an Applejack episode as a tribute to classic MLP (Applejack was the "Derpy" of the My Little Pony; comic series). The one thing that drew the most attention to the people who complained wasn't even her name or her eyes (they brought them up later) but it was her voice, which if the writer's or Tabitha had more time to realize what was happening they could have ended the debarcle before it even became too infamous, as Derpy was never supposed to sound like she had any "condition" - she was supposed to sound like a real chilld (apparently a friend of Tabitha's) who had no condition whatsoever. The only flaw was it was a boy, and Derpy is a girl - blame it on bad comunications between everyone involved.

Rainbow Dash wasn't being rude to her, in any shape or form; there was a bit of sarcasm at one point, but that's just her character, and if you can't tell the difference between playful sarcasm between friends and hateful insults, you need to, otherwise you'll be offended more times than you should be. Most of the time Dashie seemed pretty concered for Derpy's saftey.
