I think this is contentious as people find it hard to look at injustices in isolation as there are historical/cultural injustices against individuals, groups, races, ethnicities which are themselves guilty of the same. More specifically I think perhaps people that by discussing/acknowledging injustices suffered by a particular group it may somehow detract from any injustices they may have carried out.

What are peoples thoughts on a program for reparations similar to what Germany did after the second World War?
Of course it's a very broad subject but I could imagine it starting with the most urgent cases first
like the Windrush scandal. The victims could receive extra pensions and if they are no longer alive that could be paid to the families. The families could also get easier ways to receive proper citizenship if needed.
There could be an independent institute with historians researching past injustice and compensations could be worked out based on their findings, be it for individuals or countries.
