Categorization

• QUESTION: Does this generalize across groups — would reminding any group of a past redress change their stance? What is the mechanism, self-interest or moral exemplar?
• XREF: Connects to the book’s core argument architecture — reparations to Japanese Americans function as a working precedent, which could be read as evidence for the saturated-system harm model Brown builds. — connects to: Reparations raise perpetrator groups’ moral standing and reduce intergroup tension — Nyla R.
