Again, I generally agree with your instincts here to avoid the particulars that serve to divide us and focus on the universals that can unite us. But if you implement policies designed for the whole and they fail to empower the historically marginalized, how do you address the policy failure?

My point is that I think the policy failures will necessitate a focus on individual groups. It doesn’t mean that one should necessarily propose group-specific policies (that’s debatable, and I’m personally inclined against it). But it does mean that the data will lead you to individual groups, and then the question will necessarily be, “Why did the policy fail this particular group?”

Am I missing something?
