Are you asking whether it would ever be justified to
(a) hold negative opinions against a group, even if the individual group members may vary on the negative quality
or
(b) hold a negative opinion that isn't based on any evidence?
For example, being afraid of all spiders because some are poisonous would be (a), while being afraid of spiders because you believe they have mind control powers would be (b).
Assume that on average members of a group are more likely to have a negative quality than are members of the general population.
No kidding.
