Seems reasonable to me - to exclude their input would be to create a deliberate bias.
In reality, though, neo-Nazis/white supremacists have a great deal of difficulty editing, mostly because they cannot seem to comprehend or abide by content policies like [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]]. As well, the interaction policies like [[WP:CIVIL]] and [[WP:NPA]] seem to elude them. Given their views, none of this surprises me.
Would we allow relatives of victims of Auschwitz to
edit, but not relatives of Nazis who worked at Auschwitz?
Not sure how either group would be relevant, since Wikipedia considers personal experience to be a kind of original research, which is not permitted in articles.
