You do have to actually acknowledge that classes of people exist to know whether systematic biases exist between them. Why would you hide pieces of data with an extremely high degree of predictive power? Surely more sunlight is better? It doesn't have to come with any judgement, no one is saying look at these blatantly racist telecoms clearly they hate... checks notes the Vietnamese, but instead, "hey your policy of where you decide to roll out internet has a blind spot."

If you require everything be equal then a rising tide for inner city black folks also comes with a rising tide for rural white folks. It means that a person of arbitrary demographic makeup can be sure that better internet will come to them which is all people all races.
