Groups that self-stereotype as fair feel stronger pressure toward reparations.

Evidence

Furthermore, the importance of making reparations may also depend on the extent to which “being moral” and just is incorporated into the ingroup’s identity. For groups that self-stereotype as fair and egalitarian, making reparations will be a much more important goal. This is true, at least, to the extent that the ingroup’s behavior is perceived to be inconsistent with those values. In contrast, groups that adopt a “might makes right” philosophy will be less likely to see reparations as an important goal. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 593
