Social identity theory is a major advance beyond Allport

Evidence

Finally, Allport did not directly address the complex representations of systemic unfairness in his analysis, nor did he address the role that shared meaning, action, and belief systems may play in generating a family of strategies for coping with discrimination. He also did not directly speak to the concept of social identity generally, and racial identity more specifically. The incorporation of social identity principles into racial identity theories represents a major advance since Allport. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1100 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
