I think the goal is to recognize systemic factors that would impair the ability to have equal opportunity. So as a white person if you here someone talk about racial profiling by the police your response isn’t that didn’t happen to so it doesn’t happen or that’s because your group commits more crime. It’s that’s terrible how can we change the police force to prevent that from happening.
Having people in power recognoze that their experience is not the universal experience of people is important when crafting laws.
