If you want to say, the leaders of social group X are allying with the higher circles of power in the US to promote policy Y, of which you don't approve, do you have to be a member of social group X to make that point, even if you do so without any trace of prejudice? Wouldn't it make it very difficult to do social or political analysis if you followed this rule?
