[quote=Anonymous]Demands for apologies from historical oppressors are generally performative and make no difference to the majority of people who have suffered from historical wrongs. They are usually made by calculating politicians who are trying to earn kudos or garner popular support, but they are almost never followed through with any substantive policy or dollars spent to actually improve the position of those people on whose behalf the apology is demanded. An incredible amount of energy and intellectual thought then goes into the whole apology issue which would be better directed to actually helping to alleviate the suffering that resulted from this oppression. But that’s usually in the too hard and too expensive basket. Once the apology is made, the poor person living in the ramshackle home with no access to clean water or continuous electricity is still scrounging to support their family.[/quote]
