Ah, my mistake. A bad gene, I would say, is one that inconveniences or discomforts the person with it. I realise you could say that they might be inconvenienced by bullying for being different, but the gene for bullying and xenophobia could also be partially removed while still keeping the good properties of it. Similarily, the good properties of the genes related to the bad gene of autism could be maintained without keeping the bad gene, with good enough technology.
