if they did terrible things, why are you ignoring that and focusing exclusively on their ancestry?

If positive correlations exist between people who do bad things, and their ethnic backgrounds, then it's a pattern worth looking into.

if you personally believe there is a positive correlation between having an ethnic background (mexican or middle eastern or whatever) and doing bad things, I can't control your beliefs

still pretty gross of you though

Beliefs can't be "gross", they can only be true or false, justified or unjustified. There is no such thing as a morally wrong belief. That would be the confusion between fact and value.

> Beliefs can't be "gross"

of course they can, like believing that mexican people are inferior or something – gross

> they can only be true or false, justified or unjustified

this is incorrect

> There is no such thing as a morally wrong belief

this is also incorrect

> That would be the confusion between fact and value.

this, too, is incorrect

When you believe some belief to be "gross", this changes nothing about whether it is true or justified.

My first thought. I was browsing comments to see if everyone from the US did their mandatory bootlicking and yes, they did. Of course they did.

People are weird. Their government is strongarming half the world at the moment and they do not pause and go "wait, does this mean that if we unionize we can threaten to wipe all the databases unless?"
