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
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.
It 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.
Whether something is true or justified is not a matter of taste.
Whether racism is "justified" is not determined by a random internet person claiming it is, based solely on their personal taste.

Also 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).
