I agree with respect to equity over equality but surely one leads to the other?
I know that you were providing an off-the-cuff response to my comments but means-testing tuition fees with a bias towards race would prove contentious.
Were reparations to be applied I'd hope that they were extremely precise to the point of pettiness.
I think that I'm derailing slightly - once more thanks for starting the thread.

I'm generally against reparations as I find them patronising. What price can you put on generations of forced indenture under unspeakable conditions, and the lasting damage caused?
I don't think that it should/ could be paid but a good basis could be inflationary adjusted compensation payouts (I think I saw it quoted at £16.5bn) from the government to slave owners when slavery was abolished in the UK.
As someone of Jamaican heritage, I found it 'out of place' when David Cameron visited Jamaica in 2015 and the Jamaican PM raised it with him. Due to the record keeping of compensation payouts, his family along with others were shown to have been paid compensation by the government of the time.

I'll take them but I feel that it's fair to offer them up to @oddo first?

Cool, there's some interesting examples in the "similar real world projects" section of the arcology wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology.
I think that I ended up there after browsing the lost cities thread here.
Hi, I'd like one also if they're still available.
I'd like the drab green canvas with light blue threading and number 1 (dark green/ red) strapping.
If there's any shortage on colours, I'm happy to compromise!
