Several years ago Jesse Jackson, in an unguarded moment of candor, said if he were walking down a dark street at night and a group of men were walking toward him, he would be relieved if they turned out to be white.
He later tried to recant, but his statement was out there already.
Statistically speaking, his feelings were understandable, given the far higher crime rate for black youths vs. other races.
In your case, I’d suggest that while your feelings are superficially understandable, everyone must be measured on their own merits, which can only be predicted once you get to know them better. Take their full and detailed application and then make the decision.
