Given how people like to define "unbiased", it's going to wind up needing to be explicitly targeted to enforce equity... because thanks to centuries of deliberate oppression we simply don't have a country where there's no actual, empirical differences between demographics, and the people who pass laws like this believe that's solved by simply pretending they don't exist and enforcing equal outcomes by e.g. simply adding or subtracting points from scores to make all groups equal.

Because that's something that can be done now. Why spend decades doing the actual hard work of building an equitable society when you can prove how virtuous you right now by simply rigging the numbers?
