1) Resources provided to the advantage grouped may not be utilized effectively. You can reallocate the crates without anyone in the advantaged group noticing
2) Resources invested in the future can be done so to remove systemic barriers that lead to disadvantages. Next time the fence needs maintenance or replacement, just replace it with one that doesn't need crates
3) Another way to say #2 is if you commit to EVALUATING the status quo and trying to understand the reasons for inequality (as opposed to just assuming that the world is inherently hierarchical and just which is the more traditionalist approach), you can identify policies that exist that continue to perpetuate disadvantages. And that if you just remove them, you will reveal additional resources. (e.g. stop sentencing certain races more harsher for the same crimes as other races)
