I’ve learned most people tend to have different intuitions on giving vs. taking, even when arithmetically they are equivalent. It depends if the narrative is zero or positive-sum. If people perceive that some groups are getting extra at the expense of others then that is seen as wrong, but if those in need are given communal surplus that is seen as just. In the circumstances of historical injustice you have competing claims that overlap depending upon which details are in focus.
