While judging people based upon their membership in some greater group is not in and of itself wrong, it is often not appropriate. In the end, one must build merit for oneself, and one must be judged upon those merits. Merits and shortcomings alike are earned individually and thus cannot be transferred to others. Individuals are to be judged for individual deeds and be awarded or punished accordingly, and groups, likewise, should be awarded or punished for deeds committed by the entire group. Doing anything else results in injustice.
