For example, in the 1700's, the Acadians were deported out of Nova Scotia by the British. To this day, some ancestors of the Acadian people are still requesting an apology from people of British descent. This could also be something along the lines of a black person hating a white person because of their great-grandmother being enslaved by the other person's great grandfather. Even hating the grandchildren of the person who killed your grandfather is an example of this. Is the placement of guilt based on ancestry legitimate, or is it going too far?

Black people in the US who want reparations don't care a bit whether white people's ancestors were even responsible for slavery, they want them to pay by virtue of the fact that their skin is white.
