I don't see a problem with different rules for different people.
For instance, banks take race into account when the lend to clients. A black person with the same credit score as a white person is more likely to default on their loan, so the banks racially discriminate such that whites and blacks have the same rate of default because more blacks are denied loans. This is the system working as intended to minimize bad loans using all available information.
For instance, if prison is not a deterrent for non-white criminals, perhaps we could reintroduce corporal punishment or some other form of rehabilitation. If different people have different outcomes but the end goal remains the same, you must treat different people differently to achieve your goal. If the cost to treat people differently is lower than its return, it's a good investment. The fairness or justice of this system comes from the respect that each person is given to their testimony rather than a summary judgement based on the evidence alone.
We just don't have a graceful way to do this since these differences are racial and sex based in nature, so "discrimination" becomes a shibboleth which to thinking people is a virtue and to runts and losers a sin.

I'm not. I'm part of the conversation about what to do in this country, so are Jews, I learn from everyone.
Treat different things differently is the only logically coherent way to build a functional system. You don't treat oil like water. You don't treat pugs like Huskies.
