Strongly identified group members resist collective guilt more than weakly identified ones.

Evidence

In fact, Doosje et al. (1998) found that highly identified group members were the least likely to report feelings of group-based guilt. They suggest that those who are less identified with their group are less threatened by the idea that their group has done something wrong and are more willing to accept group responsibility. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 451
