You, a public or private entity, have been charged (by yourself or someone else) with reducing or "combating" some real or perceived social ill, and empowered (by yourself or someone else or accidental circumstances) to do certain things in that direction.
But you also have an ideology, and can't help but notice you have an opportunity to mold the world as you would like it to be, thanks to these assigned powers and quite apart from your mandate. All you have to do is pretend to use your powers consistently and without bias, while simply not doing that.
If you're social media, and the social ill is misinformation, you zealously police claims you're inclined to disagree with, and ignore the rest.
If you're a cop, and the social ill is crime, and your ideology is racism, the solution pretty much writes itself.
If you're a university, and the social ill is not enough science, and you have any ideology at all, guess what kinds of papers will be written by your professors (collectively, "the science". Note that universities aren't actually trying to solve for "not enough science" - they're trying to solve for money, in a world that will pay enormous sums for science. But they are empowered to do this by the popular and legal elevation of education and research above practically all else, and the failure to recognize the role of ideological bias in these pursuits.)
Another: Once it was declared unconstitutional to straight up prohibit gun ownership by black people, states instituted various laws designed to achieve the same outcome but which had a pretense of equality (termed at the time "facial equality"). They would ban the sale of inexpensive guns or impose heavy taxes on them, to price recently-emancipated blacks out of the market. Or create licensing regimes and simply find reasons not to issue licenses to black people. Mainly, policies that still exist today but which definitely no longer have the originally intended effects because the intentions have changed. Right?
