It could just be a path forward. In America a lot of the time we can't get any progress unless it's a racism issue. Things like gerrymandering or marijuana legalization get their first pushes because the most blatant group that suffers are POCs. The fact that it harms everyone is a little lost on most people, but in the end the racism cudgel can be effective for positive societal change. In this case, we can use it to get rid of automatically being identified for crimes or whatever by an AI.
