Ok, but let's not discount the work ad-hominem. Are the fields subject to problems of behavior inconsistent with principles the fields typically consider important? If one important principle is fairness between groups of people, then substitution of one group for another in matters of treatment shouldn't alter the results without consideration. If you wouldn't treat group A this way, then it would be inconsistent to accept treating group B the same way without discussing why. And that discussion should be held to some rigor. Without it, we're just talking about group A "vs" group B, instead of principles of how all groups should be treated. Yes, clearly grievances of each group are worth study and analysis. But it deters from the significance of their results if they accept the creation of isomorphic grievances.
