One could also argue that unless you are Asian you really have no frame of reference to know what it is we Asians are talking about when we talk about Asian fetish You re in deed right that one could argue that but I along with leading epistemologists like Susan Haack would strongly disagree with that sort of standpoint theory The men writing the article about abortion would have the same sources to draw on as women who had not had an abortion published books and articles And according to Wikipedia policy WP NOR those are the only sources that should be drawn on not direct personal experiences If you have direct personal experiences you want to share with the world then try to get them published in a noteworthy way They can then be cited by Wikipedia authors Direct personal experiences can indeed convey valuable knowledge to others but we must also keep in mind each individual s subjectivity and weigh them against the experiences that others have recounted and more objective data Furthermore people who engage in identity politics often give a distorted view of who actually has direct experience For example would a female Asian American college student from an affluent Chicago suburb be a natural expert on the experiences of prostitutes in the local Chinatown What would give her that expertise Her common ancestry and skin tone Her X chromosome or the various alleles they have in common that make them both appear Asian I would think that a White gay male prostitute from New Orleans would likely have a much better natural understanding Finally to address your first paragraph and the overall tone of your comments what strikes me the most about them is the circular reasoning Your premise that people are being victimized by a fetish is stated as if it were already proven true in the course of your attempt to prove that it s true In reality those sorts of assertions are hotly conested and Wikipedia needs to give both sides a fair hearing And the fact that some people had a natural motivation to respond to your extream POV if your bigotry directly slandered them or their relationships or their friends in no way justifies equating their attempt to bring balance with your cabal s attempt to create and maintain a one sided article here
