The project Members of certain groups are often granted special rights. Members of a gender may be therecipients of affirmative action, members of indigenous groups can be entitled to special language and land rights, and membership in certain nationalities can count as grounds to be prioritized – or demoted – in immigration. But only certain types of membership seem to have such a moral standing. Why?
