When two people agree to trade, they unlock a mutual benefit, resolve a potential conflict and gain in proportion to their relative 'aggression', eg the Hawk–Dove game. In an experiment with this game, a discriminatory convention evolved when half of the players were randomly assigned a red and the other half a blue label. Later, the same players were also offered the option of co‐operating. Those disadvantaged by the colour‐based discriminatory convention co‐operated with one another most of the time while the rest did not. The paper offers an explanation of these observations based on a modification of Rabin (1993). The weaker are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay heed to neither. (Aristotle, Politics, s1318b)
