This is akin to a principle question in LR where we are asked to find something that embodies the same principle that lies behind an argument. That's exactly what we need to do here: find a general rule or approach that it seems each author takes.

In both cases we see how failure to recognize a minority group harms that group, such as the Roma people.

This is not a weaken question, we're mainly tasked with finding something that the authors both generally agree on. This if anything is a cross between an LR principle and a must be true.
