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.

whether you personally believe some belief is "true" or "justified", changes nothing about whether it is gross

[cubefox]

It 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.
