Uh, I was not talking about "group A being sailors accused of being a gangsters." I meant "The replacement for the generic 'group A' actually being gangsters". As in people walking around openly, claiming to be gangsters, dressing as such, and acting in all manner as such, OK? By definition it is not bigoted to assume that gangsters are gangsters.

And by the way as the entire purpose of sailors in the navy is the fact that some "group A" and the members thereof are "likely to be trouble" you are clearly being inconsistent.
