Fundamentally we live in a world that is rife with systemic bias and oppression. Which means that things which hurt people without any intentional bias nevertheless serve as agents of increasing the underlying systemic bias.
If you steal ten thousand dollars from everyone in America completely "fairly" you will end up causing only a minor inconvenience to the rich while causing grievous harm to the poor, possibly forcing many of them into homelessness. If you inject everyone in America with the flu virus then you will kill some of the elderly and many immunocompromised or immunosupressed individuals. You cannot simply pretend that a system built by humans for use by humans is some force of nature where an implicit lack of overt bias is an excuse to ignore these issues.
