For instance, women are earning less than men. They are increasingly becoming the family bread winner. Is it fair that they earn less for their families because of their gender? No sorry Timmy we can't put away money for your college fund because mom earns 20% less than she would have otherwise.
Despite having credentials similar, or better, than their counterparts. Jose and Kawan routinely have their resumes tossed in the trash. Not only does that effect the earning power and bottom lines of those communities. It also promulgates mediocrity for those on the other side of the equation as their efforts are buffered by increased leniency.
Hell, it could be as simple as everybody paying their fair share of the bills. That includes corporations who like to use personage to their advantage. If they would take care of their responsibility to us and the country. The public wouldn't always have to shoulder extra taxes and fees for everything out the ass.
Those companies don't nickle and dime us to death because they have to scrimp and save to pay their taxes. They charge us because at the end of the day the 1% running those fuckers are beholden to pay dividends to the the other 1% that own stock and approve their loans. Maybe if they would take a little less. Not much, just a tiny 3 or 4% of their wealth beyond wealth. The entire country would be better off no matter the color.
