When you die, you don’t know you’re dead, and only those around you are affected. Because . . . you’re dead, and there is nothing you can do about anything at this point.
It’s a similar situation when you’re genuinely ignorant. You don’t know just how ignorant you and your actions are, and those around you can be affected in ways you may never understand.

Rules are neutral. There are not ‘bad laws’ as much as there are people with bad intentions (or just bad people) making laws designed to hold back certain groups of people.
Some of these laws are designed to be bad for everyone on purpose. The genius of their drawing and passing is that the group meant to elevate can overcome the disadvantage in a reasonably simple fashion. It is not easy or nearly impossible to overcome for the group meant to suffer a disadvantage.
