Bayesian priors would also suggest that certain minorities are more likely to be criminals. Should we therefore treat people from such minorities as criminals? Bayesian priors don't guide all of our ethics.

My Bayesian priors suggest that the OP wanted an easy way to dismiss the person's concerns without addressing them.

I think having an expectation about someone's further political beliefs based on information about some of their political beliefs is a little less unethical than presuming criminality, my friend.

But you're right tho, I think it's easier to cut out the middle man and dismiss his concerns because I think his concerns are shit, regardless of his other politics.
