  Others have objected to arguments for reparations for “historic” injustices, specifically Europeans’ theft of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S. from their original occupiers the Aborigines, Maori, and American Indians (Waldron 1992: 4–28). The basic objection is that the historic wrongs of the ancestors of the Europeans now in the territories have been “superseded” (Waldron 1992: 24). Possibly the objection can be raised against the inheritance argument for reparations to U.S. blacks.
