if they did terrible things, why are you ignoring that and focusing exclusively on their ancestry?
replyIf positive correlations exist between people who do bad things, and their ethnic backgrounds, then it's a pattern worth looking into.
replyif 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
replystill 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.
reply> Beliefs can't be "gross"
replyof 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.
replywhether you personally believe some belief is "true" or "justified", changes nothing about whether it is gross
replyIt also changes nothing about being true or justified. If it's "gross" according to your definition/taste that doesn't mean it's false or unjustified.
replyIt also changes nothing about being gross. If it's "true" or "justified" according to your opinion/taste that doesn't mean it's not gross.
replyWhether something is true or justified is not a matter of taste.
replyWhether racism is "justified" is not determined by a random internet person claiming it is, based solely on their personal taste.
replyAlso it is gross, and not allowed here on HN, because the consensus is that it is gross, even if you personally disagree (which is of course allowed).
