Because there is no Single, or obvious, best way ofdoing most of the thousands of things that a culture does, the general culture profits from the ferment, from the choices prOvided by ethnic richness and variety.
27 Kaplan observed that these latter groups "are least able to bear the burdens of preference for others,"28 which is true, but the more important point is that they may be the least deserving of bearing the burdens. The deleterious effect of employing compensatory justice arguments to defend affirmative action programs should not be minimized. Because the enforced compensation would not compensate deserving individuals-or at least not the most deserving individuals, those whom compensatory justice has identified as having been harmed in the first place-it discredits the essential justification for affirmative action.
Properly conceived, compensatory justice is the claim to compensation for discrete and "finished" harm done to minority group members or their ancestors. To award damages for prior suffering is to engage in compensatory justice, whatever the form ofthe suffering. Simplified for our purposes, distributive justice as a matter of equal protection is the claim an individual or group has to the positions or advantages or benefits they would have been awarded under fair conditions-fair conditions being identified here with the absence of invidious discrimination.
