It's important to aknowledge that, and I wish there weren't so many white Asiaphiles who pretend to understand what it's like to be Asian. But that doesn't mean you can't write a novel that takes place in 1970s Chinatown. I'm guessing Michael Crichton never cloned dinosaurs, and Scott Turow never murdered anyone. But Stephen King probably has conjured up a boogie man or two. I think it’s good that you recognized that you are not the best authority on 1970s Chinatown.

Old lady is being self fish. She probably has issues with anyone that writes history books too I bet.
